Not that long ago we were just an app to request premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas. Now we're a part of the logistical fabric of more than 600 cities around the world. Whether it's a ride, a sandwich, or a package, we use technology to give people what they want, when they want it.

For our drivers and couriers, the Uber app represents a flexible way to earn money. For cities and communities, we help strengthen local economies, improve access to transportation, and make streets safer. And we're thinking about the future, too with teams working on autonomous trucking and self-driving vehicles.

It's tempting to want to join a company that looks like it has it all figured out. But those companies aren't always the best place to learn. The truth is, the more problems a company has, the more opportunities there are to solve. And the more problems you solve, the more you learn. And the more you learn, the more you grow.

We need your skills and passion to help make it happen! Be sure to check out the Uber Engineering Blog to learn more about the team.
