About The Role
The Shared Rides team mission is to provide a rideshare service at a substantially lower price point to a taxi or UberX via sharing the cost of the driver amongst multiple riders. We are developing a product which can achieve this lower cost while providing Riders with a predictable and defect-free experience and also generating sustainable earnings for Drivers and unlock the next frontier of growth for Uber for a product which also has hugely positive secondary effects of reducing carbon emmisisons and traffic congestion in addition to improving affordability

This team delivers all aspects of shared rides, from the experiences shown to riders and drivers, the matching algorithms to make efficient sharing, and pricing to predict where we will be able to generate the greatest cost savings and convert the most riders. We work to identify the right trade offs between timeliness and costs, and build experiences to surface these trade offs. Walking, waiting, scheduling and routing all provide opportunities for us to drive efficiencies to continuously push prices lower for our customers.
This is a great opportunity to build out new tech for this growing business. We build brand new experiences for the rider and driver in the highest growth part of Uber's ridshare portfolio.
