About the Role

- Build a leading marketplace simulation platform and other platform capabilities to optimize AV ETAs, routing, and pickup and dropoff experience.
Basic Qualifications
- Minimum 6+ years experience delivering successful and innovative products with your fingerprints all over them. Experience owning and leading strategy for lines of business and building products from 0-1.
- Demonstrated ability to leverage cutting edge technology to drive business impact and articulate sophisticated technical concepts to non-technical and executive audiences.

We ignite opportunity by setting the world in motion
Good things happen when people can move, whether across town or towards their dreams. Opportunities appear, open up, become reality. What started as a way to tap a button to get a ride has led to billions of moments of human connection as people around the world go all kinds of places in all kinds of ways with the help of our technology.
We’re building something people use every day. From how you get home from work, to how you eat meals, or how you move huge shipments of absolutely anything, the work we contribute moves the world a few steps forward. And that’s one of the best parts about working here—knowing that the work you do helps shape the future.
And getting to that bright future means solving some of the most difficult problems of the present. It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of love, and support from colleagues all over the world. At Uber, we have brought together a world-class collective of problem-solvers. And we all fundamentally understand that tough challenges help us personally grow the most. That’s why we wholeheartedly believe in learning by doing—and that there is no better classroom than real-world experience. Because if it helps you grow, then we all grow. Together.
