Order Platform
Uber's Commerce Engineering group is responsible for maintaining and enhancing the infrastructure for orders and payments that enables all lines of businesses across Uber to conduct business. All commerce in and out of Uber flows through these mission-critical systems. In 2019 this meant processing over 6.9 billion trips with $65 billion in gross bookings!

Our continued obsession for innovation in the space is essential to ensure safety as people interact on Uber's platform.
Customer Identity Platform (CIP)
The CIP team develops Identity SaaS which includes sign-up, login, and identity management solutions which are used by Uber and its partners.
