Uber Software Engineer interview experience

backendPosted Feb 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I was in the middle of preparing for an upcoming Uber Software Engineer II backend interview that was laid out as four 60-minute rounds: two coding rounds, one system design round, and one behavioral round.

Just from the structure, it seemed like the evaluation would cover both hands-on problem solving and how I communicated in design and leadership-style discussions.

The parts I kept circling in my head were what kinds of system design topics they might emphasize given the backend focus, while still needing to do well in two separate coding sessions. I hadn’t reached the interview date yet in my notes, but the format alone made the process feel very organized and tightly timed.
