About the Role
Fares refers to Uber's platform for calculating who pays who what across all Uber's lines of businesses, including mobility products (e.g., UberX, Transit, Black, Reserve, etc.) and delivery products (e.g., Eats, Grocery, Direct). It processes over 100 billion pricing estimates a year (growing fast). Fares aims to deliver clear, trustworthy, and intelligent fares for all Uber customers and stakeholders and consists of both consumer experiences (pre-trip and post-trip) as well as a large platform that works across Pricing, Fulfillment, Accounting, and many other systems to generate fares for a large number of use cases.
This platform product role focussed on developing the platform capabilities, tooling, and interfaces to enable Uber teams to build, experiment with, grow & operate new products and businesses with high velocity and reliability. You will solve tough, ambiguous problems every day, and work with highly motivated, and talented engineers and peers. A key part of the job is discovering, understanding and finding ways to simplify and consolidate extremely complex processes & business rules into manageable processes, concepts, components and interfaces that are flexible, usable and reliable.

Preferred Qualifications

Technical understanding must go from the highest abstractions down to the metal.
