Where Uber Posts Open Positions

Uber posts all open jobs on its careers website at careers.uber.com. This is the only official place Uber lists positions. You can search by job title, location, or department — engineering, driver operations, customer support, sales, finance, and others. The site shows you the job description, required experience, and the location or remote status before you decide to proceed.

You do not need to create an account to browse open positions. You can look through all available jobs without logging in. However, you will need to create an account or sign in with an existing one when you are ready to submit your information for a specific role.

Uber also posts some positions on third-party job boards like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor. These listings link back to the careers website, so you will end up on careers.uber.com to complete the process either way.

Key Takeaways

  • All Uber jobs are posted on careers.uber.com, where you can filter by location, department, and job level without creating an account.
  • You will need to create a login or use an existing email account to submit your information for any position.
  • The application process typically includes a resume upload, a cover letter or written response to a prompt, and screening questions specific to the role.
  • Uber reviews applications on a rolling basis, meaning positions close when filled rather than on a set date.
  • Response times vary by role and department, but you can expect to hear back within two to four weeks if you move forward.

Creating Your Uber Careers Account

To submit an application, you will need to create an account on the careers website. You can sign up using your email address or by connecting an existing LinkedIn, Google, or Microsoft account. Using a linked account is faster and pulls some information automatically, but you can also create a new account with just an email and password.

Once your account is created, Uber stores your profile information — name, email, phone number, and any documents you upload. You can save job postings to a list and return to them later. Your account also keeps a record of every application you submit, so you can track where you stand with each position.

If you apply for multiple roles, you use the same account for all of them. This means Uber can see your full application history with the company, which matters if you are applying for a second or third position after being rejected for an earlier one.

What Happens During the Application Process

When you click "Apply" on a job posting, you will be asked to upload a resume. This is required. Some roles also ask for a cover letter; others ask you to answer one or two short questions about why you want the job or what experience you have in a specific area. These written responses are usually 200 to 500 words.

After you submit, Uber's system screens your application against the job requirements. This screening is partly automated — the system looks for keywords and experience levels — and partly human. A recruiter will review applications that pass the initial screen. If your background matches what they are looking for, a recruiter will contact you by email or phone to schedule a conversation.

The timeline from submission to first contact varies. Some roles move quickly — you might hear back within a week. Others take two to three weeks, especially if the role is popular or the hiring team is reviewing many applications. Positions close when they are filled, so applying early gives you a better chance of being seen before the posting closes.

Interview Stages and What to Expect

If a recruiter moves you forward, the next step is usually a phone or video screening call. This is a 20- to 30-minute conversation where the recruiter asks about your background, why you are interested in Uber, and whether your availability and location work for the role. They also answer your questions about the job and the team.

After the screening call, the process depends on the role. Some positions move to a technical interview or skills assessment — for engineering roles, this might be a coding problem; for data roles, a SQL or analytics challenge; for operations roles, a case study or scenario-based question. Other roles go straight to interviews with the hiring manager and team members.

Later-stage interviews are usually conducted over video and last 45 minutes to an hour. You will speak with the person who would be your manager, peers on the team, or both. These conversations focus on how you work, how you handle problems, and whether you fit the team's needs and culture. You should prepare examples from your past work that show your skills.

Documents and Information You Will Need

Before you start an application, gather these items: a current resume, your phone number, and your email address. That is the minimum. Some roles ask for a portfolio, GitHub profile, or links to past work — check the job posting to see what is requested.

You will also need to be ready to answer questions about your work history, gaps in employment, and why you are leaving your current job. Have specific examples ready that show how you solved a problem, handled a difficult situation, or learned something new. Uber interviewers ask behavioral questions — "Tell me about a time when..." — so concrete stories are more useful than general statements.

If you are applying for a role that requires a background check, Uber will ask for permission and details about your history. This happens after an offer is made, not during the application stage. Be honest about any gaps or issues on your resume, because discrepancies discovered during a background check can result in an offer being withdrawn.

How Uber Contacts You and Response Times

Uber contacts applicants by email and phone. Check the email address and phone number you provided during registration regularly — recruiters do not always send a warning before calling. If you miss a call, they will usually send an email with a link to schedule a time that works better for you.

Response times vary widely. Some roles are filled within two weeks; others take four to six weeks from application to offer. Positions that are harder to fill or require specialized skills may take longer. If you have not heard back within three weeks, you can log into your account and check the status of your application — some postings show whether you are still under review or have been moved to another stage.

If you are rejected, Uber does not always send a formal rejection email. Your application status will change to "Not Selected" in your account. You can apply for other roles immediately; there is no waiting period between applications.

Tips for a Stronger Application

Read the job description carefully and match the language in your resume to the skills and experience they are asking for. If the posting mentions "cross-functional collaboration" or "data-driven decision making," use those same terms in your resume and cover letter if they apply to your work. Recruiters use keyword searches, so matching the language increases the chance your application reaches a human reviewer.

Customize your cover letter or written response for each role. A generic answer about why you want to work at Uber does not stand out. Instead, mention something specific — a product you use, a problem you think Uber is solving, or a skill from the job description that you have used in past work. This shows you read the posting and thought about why the role matters to you.

If you know someone at Uber, an internal referral can help. Referred candidates often move faster through the process. Ask your contact to submit a referral through the internal system, then apply through the careers website. Your application will be flagged as referred, and the hiring team will see it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply for multiple jobs at the same time?

Yes. You can submit applications for as many open roles as you want using the same account. There is no limit on how many positions you can apply for, and Uber does not penalize you for applying to multiple teams. However, be realistic about your qualifications — applying for 20 jobs you are not may have access to for will not help you.

What if I do not hear back after two weeks?

Log into your careers account and check the status of your application. If it still shows "Under Review," the hiring team is still looking at applications. If it shows "Not Selected," you were not moved forward. You can apply for other roles at any time. If you want to follow up with a recruiter, look for their contact information in any emails they sent you, but do not expect a response if your application was rejected.

Do I need to live in a specific city to work at Uber?

It depends on the role. Some positions are remote and open to applicants anywhere in the country or world. Others require you to be in a specific office location — San Francisco, New York, Chicago, or another city. The job posting always states whether the role is remote, hybrid, or office-based and which location is required.

What happens after I receive an offer?

Uber will send you an offer letter with the job title, salary, benefits, start date, and other terms. You will have a set number of days — usually five to seven — to accept or decline. After you accept, Uber will schedule a background check and verify your work history. Once that is complete, you will receive your start date and onboarding information.

Can I reapply for a role I was rejected for?

Yes, but wait at least three to six months before reapplying for the same role or a similar position. If you were rejected, it usually means your experience did not match what they were looking for at that time. Reapplying immediately will not change that. Use the time to build relevant skills or experience, then apply again when the role is reposted.
