We are hiring a Software Engineer II for the Login Services Platform Engineering team within Core Security Engineering. Our mission is to build the foundational identity platform that Uber's security and infrastructure organization runs on — spanning how we govern non-human identities, how we model identity and access as queryable knowledge, and how we authenticate and authorize both people and autonomous agents at scale.
You'll work across three interconnected platform programs: Non-Human Identity (NHI) Governance, the Security Knowledge Graph, and uSSO / Agentic R&D. Each is foundational infrastructure that other security and engineering teams build on top of — which means the systems you write need to be correct, observable, and safe to depend on.
Non-Human Identity Governance — Build the tooling and detection logic that governs the sprawling web of permissions between personnel, workloads, agents, service accounts, and infrastructure. Develop inventory and risk-identification pipelines that surface dangerous patterns — runaway group membership, over-privileged service accounts — before they become incidents. Contribute to eliminating personnel misuse of non-human identities by migrating credentials to secretless patterns and onboarding privileged access management (PAM) enforcement.
Security Knowledge Graph — Help build a single, queryable knowledge graph of identity, assets, ownership, and access controls that is becoming foundational to Uber's security infrastructure strategy. Design and ship the ingestion framework, CI/CD pipeline, and self-service tooling (schema browsing, query benchmarking, scaffolding) that let any security or infra team onboard their own data sources without bespoke integration work. Build toward near-real-time ingestion for high-value signals like access and group-membership changes, and extend the graph to support both human consumers (dashboards, investigation tools) and AI agents querying it directly.
uSSO / Agentic R&D — Help evolve uSSO into an identity platform that works natively for both humans and autonomous agents, strengthening authentication as more of Uber's workload shifts to agentic systems acting on behalf of people and services. This means building the underlying platform to be robust and agent-compatible, and defining how Uber issues, verifies, and scopes identity for agents — establishing clear on-behalf-of relationships and policy standards for how agents can safely access production systems and SaaS.
Diagnose and resolve complex distributed-systems problems across these platforms under continuous, high-volume, security-critical traffic — with a focus on correctness, latency, and operational resilience.
4+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer, with experience designing, building, and operating distributed systems in a production environment.
Ability to take ownership of a well-scoped technical problem, break it into concrete steps, and drive it to completion with appropriate urgency.
Working knowledge of backend infrastructure fundamentals: service architecture, data stores, caching, and asynchronous/event-driven messaging.
Experience with graph data models and query languages (e.g., Cypher), or with streaming/near-real-time data pipelines (e.g., Kafka, Flink).
Experience with identity and access management concepts: service accounts, privileged access management, non-human identity, OAuth, or SSO.
Interest or experience in emerging problems around AI agent identity and authorization — how autonomous systems should be authenticated, scoped, and audited.
Familiarity with Golang and with modernizing legacy backend systems.
For San Francisco, CA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD $171,000 per year - USD $190,000 per year.

We are Uber. The go-getters. The kind of people who are relentless about our mission to help people go anywhere and get anything and earn their way. Movement is what we power. It’s our lifeblood. It runs through our veins. It’s what gets us out of bed each morning. It pushes us to constantly reimagine how we can move better. For you. For all the places you want to go. For all the things you want to get. For all the ways you want to earn. Across the entire world. In real time. At the incredible speed of now.
The idea for Uber was born on a snowy night in Paris in 2008, and ever since then our DNA of reimagination and reinvention carries on. We’ve grown into a global platform powering flexible earnings and the movement of people and things in ever expanding ways. We’ve gone from connecting rides on 4 wheels to 2 wheels to 18-wheel freight deliveries. From takeout meals to daily essentials to prescription drugs to just about anything you need at any time and earning your way. From drivers with background checks to real-time verification, safety is a top priority every single day. At Uber, the pursuit of reimagination is never finished, never stops, and is always just beginning.
