My expertise is in distributed databases and distributed file systems. Generally my interest lies in distributed systems and infra. What sort of teams at Uber would be a good fit for me?

    Anything in marketplace platform deals with lots of distributed systems problems.

    You should check out Data team under Jennifer. They have teams working on HDFS, Spark, Presto, Hive, Kafka, Pinot, etc. Lots of scalability problems to solve.

      Are there any blogs or job descriptions for these three teams so that I can learn more about them?

      Not that I know of. There might be something on the uber blog.

      My personal recommendation is to go to the MSG team. Close enough to infra to be computer science-y but also close enough to the core business to see the trade-offs of various distributed systems strategies on the business.

      It’s also under Jörg that came from google, so I expect marketplace and marketplace platform to do some of the most interesting work over the next 2-4 years. Only downside is dealing with maintenance and migration from legacy systems. The MSG team itself doesn’t really have much legacy systems but it’s immediate customers do.
