About the Role

Uber is transforming the way people get what they need, when they need it. Retail is one of the primary growth bets for Uber, bringing on-demand delivery of almost anything to Uber Eats customers around the world. Our vision is to deliver a better day for our users, ensuring that we have the right selection of merchants, a reliable experience, and achieve sustainable growth.
