Work Policy
Uber, founded by Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp in 2009, has transformed from a simple ride-sharing app into a global mobility platform. Operating in 10,000+ cities across 70+ countries, Uber facilitates millions of trips and deliveries daily.
Beyond rides, Uber has expanded into Eats (food delivery), Freight (trucking), and various other mobility solutions. The company's engineering challenges span real-time systems, massive scale, geo-spatial computing, and sophisticated marketplace optimization.
Uber's India engineering hub in Bangalore is one of its largest globally. India-based teams work on core platform infrastructure, marketplace systems, payments, and safety features. It's a key center for Uber's global engineering efforts.
"We reimagine the way the world moves for the better."

The best ideas win, regardless of who proposes them. Challenge respectfully, commit fully.
Take calculated risks. Move fast and don't be afraid to fail - just fail fast and learn.
Integrity, ethics, and doing what's right even when it's hard. Period.
