# Kritika Vaid > Sr Software Engineer, Driver Engagement Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kritikavaid I’m a Software Engineer at Uber, passionate about building scalable distributed systems that solve complex, real-world problems at global scale. At Uber, I’ve worked on projects that drive supply efficiency and marketplace reliability through better supply positioning, save Uber’s business by building compliance systems, and create driver-facing experiences like the Opportunity Center Platform—a one-stop shop for earnings opportunities that enables multiple teams to integrate without building bespoke surfaces. I also built the Zones Map, a system that guides couriers on where to position based on demand and access. These projects have given me the opportunity to tackle high-impact challenges at the intersection of systems design, marketplace dynamics, and user experience. Curious and growth-driven, I thrive at the intersection of systems, people, and impact - bringing positivity and clarity to every project. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Uber Jan 2022 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area ### Software Engineer II, Driver Platform @ Uber Jan 2019 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area Designing and architecting, developing and testing software applications using Uber's technology stack to build backend experiences which power the way drivers interact with Uber's platform. ### Software Engineer I, Core Infrastructure @ Uber Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area • Designed and Implemented a new user interface for an internal tool used by ~955 services to perform load and integration testing at Uber.
