About the Role:
Ensuring safe and insured experiences for all users at all times is part of Uber's core mission. We have an opportunity to lean into making Safety a core brand differentiator. Safety & Insurance products span across the Uber lifecycle - from onboarding to on-trip to post-trip and customer support, building tech to predict and prevent safety incidents while empowering users to feel protected in every single interaction along the user journey. In the event of an incident, our Insurance tech ensures we take care of users with empathy, care, fairness and expediency. This means providing insurance coverage and personalized protection at the right time and right value. Our products are also nuanced based on geographies, and offerings (think cash markets, two-wheeler heavy markets). As we scale our efforts into more dimensions and marketplaces, we need an experienced technologist to help steer the long term vision of our engineering stack.
