Scientist II - Earner Access

Seattle, WA

About the Role

Earners (drivers and couriers) are an integral part of Uber's multi-sided marketplace. They provide the time and the means to move people and things. Importantly, they enable the connection between the physical and digital world to make the movement happen at the push of a button for everyone, everywhere.

Within Uber, Earner Access plays a critical role in earners' journey as the team is responsible for earner onboarding, activation, early life cycle, and resurrection. This presents the teams with the opportunity to shape and tailor the product experience during earners' many firsts (i.e., first time interacting on the Uber platform, choosing the earning opportunity, going online, receiving incentive offers, completing a trip, or reading the earnings summary). These firsts can be daunting.
