Uber Eats engineering team in Hyderabad develops product for US
Hyderabad: The Hyderabad-based Uber Eats Engineering team led the integration of prescription delivery company NimbleRx’s backend onto the Eats platform to help launch the company’s delivery of prescription medicines product in parts of the US late last year.
The team completed the integration process in just three weeks, thereby allowing customers to order their prescription medication from neighbourhood pharmacies or transfer their existing prescription right from their Uber Eats app. The partnership leverages Uber Eats’ delivery expertise and ensures medicines reach residents in a timely manner, all at the tap of a button. The team that worked on this integration comprises a total of five engineers, including Android and iOS engineers, a web engineer, a backend engineer, and an engineering manager.
Jaiteerth Patwari, Site Lead, Eats Engineering said, “This backend integration is an example of our tech centres in India building for the world. Given the high priority we place on the safety and convenience of customers, our teams worked at lightning speed to develop a solution for aiding the on-demand delivery of medicines for those in need.”
The Eats Engineering team works on a global mandate and serves key markets such as the US, Canada, Belgium, and Japan. The team has led several projects where they’ve made food and medicines more accessible to people in these countries. Apart from prescription delivery, the Eats Engineering team has also enabled contactless food delivery across several countries.
