As a senior engineer in the uMetric team in Uber, my role is to design and develop the metric authoring tool which is used by most of the major teams inside Uber. The tool is used to create metric definitions and define sources, which can later be used integrated into different visualisation/reporting tools, often used by top level management for business decisions.
