Job description

Staff Security Engineer, Enterprise Security

About the Role

Our mission is to protect, defend, and secure Uber's products, infrastructure, and data by building highly available, scalable, and extensible security solutions and services. We focus on proactively identifying and mitigating security risks, strengthening foundational security controls, and continuously evolving our defenses to stay ahead of emerging threats.

We are seeking an experienced Staff Security Engineer, Enterprise Security to provide technical leadership in designing, building, and scaling security capabilities that protect Uber's enterprise environment. This role will own key security initiatives and drive technical delivery across corporate endpoints, infrastructure, enterprise applications, and cloud environments.

As Uber's technology footprint grows and the threat landscape evolves, traditional approaches to enterprise security must give way to scalable, automated, and security-by-default solutions. You will lead complex, cross-team initiatives to modernize foundational security controls, reduce attack surfaces, improve threat prevention and detection capabilities, and strengthen cyber resilience.

What You Will Do

Own the technical direction, design, and delivery of key Enterprise Security capabilities, contributing to the team's architecture and roadmap while aligning engineering priorities with evolving threats and business needs.
Design, build, and lead the implementation of security solutions across corporate endpoints, production infrastructure, and enterprise environments, applying defense-in-depth and zero-trust security principles.
Drive technical improvements in endpoint protection, endpoint detection and response (EDR), application control, system hardening, security posture management, and infrastructure security across macOS, Windows, and Linux environments.
Build and operate scalable security platforms, services, and automated workflows that improve security coverage, reduce operational complexity, and enable consistent enforcement of security controls.
Partner with Infrastructure, IT, Client Platform Engineering, Cloud Security, and other engineering teams to drive security-by-default designs, resolve complex technical challenges, and deliver security improvements at scale.

Basic Qualifications

Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience in Computer Science, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field.
7+ years of professional experience in security engineering, systems engineering, infrastructure security, or software engineering, with significant experience designing and implementing security solutions at scale.
Deep technical expertise in one or more enterprise security domains, such as endpoint security, infrastructure security, EDR, application control, zero-trust architecture, or enterprise security platforms.
Demonstrated ability to assess threats and attack paths, translate security risks into technical requirements, and design controls that balance security effectiveness, reliability, and usability.
Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Golang, Python, Java, or C/C++, with demonstrated experience building production-grade software, automation, or security infrastructure.

Preferred Qualifications

Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field.
Deep expertise in enterprise endpoint and infrastructure security technologies, including EDR/XDR, device management, system hardening, and endpoint security controls.
Experience designing and deploying security solutions across large-scale environments spanning corporate devices, on-premises infrastructure, and public cloud platforms.
Strong understanding of enterprise security technologies such as Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), secure enterprise browsers, SaaS security, and data loss prevention.
Experience applying AI/ML, agentic systems, or advanced automation to security operations, threat analysis, security policy enforcement, or incident investigation.

For Seattle, WA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD $232,000 per year - USD $258,000 per year.

You will be eligible to participate in Uber's bonus program, and may be offered an equity award & other types of comp. All full-time employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan. You will also be eligible for various benefits.

Ready to Ride?

This isn't the kind of place where you follow a playbook - it's where you help write one. If you're driven by impact, energized by challenge, and ready to shape how the world moves - we'd love to hear from you.

You may be eligible for bonuses, equity, and other compensation, as well as a range of benefits. Explore our benefits.

Offices remain key to collaboration and Uber's culture. Unless approved for full remote work, employees must spend at least 50% of their time in-office. Some roles, like those at greenlight hubs, require full-time in-office presence. Ask your Recruiter for details about this role's requirements.

Uber is proud to be an Equal Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, protected Veteran status, age, or any other characteristic protected by law.

About the role

This is a Senior Level role in the Technology field (Cybersecurity) at Uber. Senior roles usually expect substantial experience, ownership of results and often the ability to guide others.

We could not match this job title to one occupation in the official wage statistics, so no pay estimate is shown. Pay is not in the source listing; ask the employer for the range and compare in the 240 job niches.

Does the pay work here? (estimate)

Gross salary a year Filing State income tax rate %

Estimate for a wage earner: 2026 federal brackets and standard deduction (IRS), Social Security 6.2% up to $184,500, Medicare 1.45% (+0.9% above $200,000 single / $250,000 married), and a state rate you set; set your own state tax rate. It ignores credits, pre-tax deductions, local taxes and benefits. Sources: IRS: tax year 2026 inflation adjustments · SSA wage base per Federal Register notice 2025-19763.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Seattle, WA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Seattle compares. Among the 80 largest places in Washington, Seattle is #1 by population, #76 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #8 for college degrees (#1 = most), #8 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, King County, is #1 of 39 counties for average pay ($132,279).

The place in numbers

Seattle has 754,195 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 9.6% of the population of Washington. It covers 84 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 8,979 people per square mile. The median age is 35.6, 7% younger than the state median (35.6 against 38.3).

Housing

The median gross rent is $2,030 a month (rent plus utilities), 15% above the state median ($2,030 against $1,760). Over a year that is 19.7% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $938,600, which is 7.6 times the median household income ($123,860); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 43.7% of households own their home, 31% below the state average (43.7% against 63.8%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metropolitan area has 2,086,210 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $72,610 a year, 42% above the national median ($72,610 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (212,900 jobs, median $59,660); business and financial operations (201,160 jobs, median $101,950); computer and mathematical (194,970 jobs, median $156,000). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (2.8 times) and architecture and engineering (1.4 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($168,110) and computer and mathematical ($156,000). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of King County was 4.8%. 74.0% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in King County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 36.6% drive alone, 11.9% use public transit, 8.1% walk, 34.8% work from home. 13.9% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 18% below the state average (13.9% against 16.9%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

68.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 73% above the state share (68.5% against 39.6%). 20.1% of residents were born outside the United States, 31% above the state share (20.1% against 15.4%). The poverty rate is 9.9%, about the same as the state rate (9.9% against 9.9%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 65°F (18.3°C), and the coolest is Dec at 39°F (3.8°C). About 1,230 mm (48 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Nov is the wettest month (188 mm) and Jul the driest (19 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Mercer Island (7 miles, rent 23% higher); Bainbridge Island (7 miles, rent 8% higher); Kirkland (9 miles, rent 18% higher); Bellevue (9 miles, rent 27% higher). Rent differences are against Seattle; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
