Sr Staff Agentic Systems Engineer

Sr Staff Agentic Systems Engineer Department: Engineering Team: Engineering Location: San Francisco, United States Type: Full-Time **About the Role** Uber's Developer Platform is in the middle of a paradigm shift. The industry moved from text editors to IDEs. We're now moving from IDEs to Agentic Dev Environments (ADEs), where AI agents are first-class participants in the software development lifecycle. The AI Foundations & Developer Experience (AIFX) team is building the infrastructure that makes this shift real. We own: The agent runtime. Claude Code, Codex, and Minions, our background agent orchestration system for autonomous code generation. The MCP platform layer. Giving agents structured access to Uber's tools, data, and developer lifecycle. The Skill Marketplace. Encoding tribal knowledge into loadable, composable expertise so any engineer can be instantly productive in any monorepo. We're hiring engineers who think in systems, not features. You'll own foundational pieces of Uber's agentic infrastructure. Getting it right means every team at Uber ships faster. **\-\-\-\- What the Candidate Will Do ----** Design and ship the skill pack framework. How skills are authored, versioned, distributed, and loaded across Go, Java, Python, iOS, Android, and Web monorepos. Skills are the differentiator: portable expertise that makes any agent instantly productive. Build the multi-agent runtime inside Uber's DevPod cloud environments. Persistent background agents, swarm orchestration, cross-agent context passing. Agents working 24/7 in parallel, not one-shot interactions. Develop AI-powered code intelligence. Semantic code search, dependency-aware context, codebase understanding that gives agents deep structural knowledge (not just text search). Own and evolve the MCP platform layer. Consolidating code-mcp, docs-mcp, and developer lifecycle MCPs into a unified, low-latency context infrastructure that agents actually depend on. Partner with Code Infra, DevPod, Mobile Platform, Web Platform, and Backend Platform teams to ship the foundational systems that make agentic engineering work at U
