About the Team
The Uber Marketplace is designed to move riders & drivers efficiently from where they are to where they want to go. Every dollar that is transacted in the Uber Marketplace (driver
forecasting, dynamic pricing fares, matching driver/rider pricing, and overall marketplace health) is informed and influenced by data - and our Product team decides the algorithms that enable millions of earners and consumers to ride, deliver, eat, and move daily.
Uber operates an Open Marketplace - it's open to everybody who wants to make a living. You can drive whenever you want, wherever you want, and however you want. We offer broad access to work, and we expand mobility for riders. The freedom and flexibility that this affords is hard to understand, until you actually try it. We understand that connecting people to places and opportunities has real-world consequences, and that's a big responsibility. Our principled approach to marketplace design helps us live up to that responsibility.
We encourage people from all backgrounds who seek the opportunity to help build a future where everyone and everything can move independently. If you have the curiosity, passion, and collaborative spirit, come work with us, and let's move the world forward, together.
