Partner Solutions and Engineering Lead

Requirements

• Hands-on software engineering experience building and shipping production integrations (APIs, webhooks, SDKs, distributed services) with strong debugging depth.
• Technical leadership experience (tech lead, lead engineer, TLM or EM with strong IC output), including code reviews, mentorship, and driving delivery through ambiguity.
• Experience collaborating with external partners/customers in a technical capacity (partner engineering, solutions engineering, platform engineering, developer relations, or similar).

Nice to Haves

• Familiarity with restaurant systems (POS, KDS, OMS, menu/catalog sync, payment flows, delivery aggregation/middleware) and their real-world constraints.
• Proven “player-coach” track record: leading a small team while staying deeply in the code and owning critical deliverables end-to-end.
• Strong systems design instincts around reliability, observability, and scalability (SLOs, error budgets, monitoring, incident response patterns).
• Experience building reusable integration patterns (reference implementations, certification/testing harnesses, self-serve onboarding, partner tooling).

What You'll Be Doing

• Own a set of strategic restaurant tech relationships and deliver production integrations (design, build, test, launch, operate).
• Build and lead a lean EMEA-based squad (typically 2–5 engineers over time): hiring, coaching, code reviews, and setting execution pace.
• Create repeatable integration “plugins” (patterns, libraries, templates, runbooks) to reduce onboarding time and improve integration quality.
• Partner closely with Engineering/Product/BD/Ops teams to align roadmaps, translate partner needs into technical work, and unblock launches.
• Establish integration health visibility: dashboards, alerts, failure triage loops, and continuous improvement of partner and customer outcomes.
• Regional expert on the ecosystem and local go-to for product insights and MVPs.

Perks and Benefits

• Joining a small, high-impact team in the UK with outsized influence on reliability, onboarding speed, and partner experience across the region.
• Opportunity to build a “mini ninja team” and a repeatable system for how Uber engages, onboards, and scales with the restaurant tech ecosystem.
• Contributing to Uber's mission of reimagining the way the world moves for the better.
• Collaborative office environment central to Uber's cultural identity. Flexible remote work options may be available.
