About the Role

Imagine a world where your Uber arrives, completely driverless, ready to take you safely to your destination. That's the future we're building in the Autonomous Mobility & Delivery (AM&D) team. This isn't just a side project; it's one of Uber's most significant investments, designed to bring autonomous vehicles to our Rides and Eats services across all 10,000+ cities globally. We're truly just getting started on this transformative journey.

As we navigate this exciting path, we face unique engineering puzzles:

1. How do we ensure every Uber customer - from riders to eaters to merchants - enjoys a safe, clear, and truly magical experience, all without a human driver?
2. What makes people embrace AVs? How do we build trust and excitement around these new, driverless experiences?
3. How do we guarantee a rider's autonomous trip is always safe, informative, and reliable, from the moment of pickup to drop-off, even without a person behind the wheel?

Uber's mission is to reimagine the way the world moves for the better. Here, bold ideas create real-world impact, challenges drive growth, and speed fuelds progress. What moves us, moves the world - let's move it forward, together.

Offices continue to be central to collaboration and Uber's cultural identity. Unless formally approved to work fully remotely, Uber expects employees to spend at least half of their work time in their assigned office. For certain roles, such as those based at green-light hubs, employees are expected to be in-office for 100% of their time. Please speak with your recruiter to better understand in-office expectations for this role.
