About the Role
Every month, Uber collects millions of documents from earners, spenders, and organizations to verify their identity, validate they meet external regulations and internal standards. Additionally, Uber has regulatory requirements to adjudicate certain earner documents like background check reports to help ensure only good and safe actors gain access to Uber's platform.
The Documents team is on a mission to build a platform that powers document workflows across Uber. Document workflows involve Document Ingestion, inspection ( think fraud detection ), extraction ( think accurate, automated transcription), storage/retrieval ( think PII/GDPR) etc. Documents is a key service at Uber and intersects with multiple domains, such as Growth, Compliance, Safety, Risk etc. We are focused on scaling the platform, launching new capabilities, and tackling hard, high-impact problems. It's a great time to join the team, shape the next phase of our evolution, and leave your mark on a foundational Uber service.
