Team : Payment Compliance
Role : Senior Software Engineer
Payment Compliance org works to ensure that any money movement on Uber platform is compliant with the laws of the land where Uber is operating. Since we operate in the financial domain, this means that we need to be 100% reliable compliant and deliver capabilities which can be scaled globally.
A few of the challenges that our team solves on a daily basis include ensuring that any new partners who onboards onto the platform are compliant to their respective region. The compliance scale should be on par with the money movement on Uber, which is really huge.
We do not allow any money laundering to happen on the Uber platform.Payment compliance needs to work with multiple teams inside Uber to make this happen and example would be to verify user data before spending. This includes asking Users to validate their personal information before spend. In addition we work with multiple third party vendors, agencies to ensure no sanctioned entity is allowed on Uber's platform.
In terms of scale, every partner coming online and every payment disbursement call across the world needs to go through our systems to ensure compliance.
