Rathnam, who joined Uber about a year ago, plans to leave in early October, the spokesperson said.
Rathnam previously worked as an executive at Amazon , where he led teams responsible for product selection and catalogue systems. Prior to Amazon, he worked at Microsoft and Oracle, according to his company biography.
It was unclear how Uber's engineering teams will be structured after Rathnam leaves, according to Business Insider.
