Where Uber posts its open positions

Uber posts job openings on its careers website at careers.uber.com. This is the official place to search all roles across the company — from driver and delivery partner positions to corporate jobs in engineering, sales, finance, and operations.

You can filter by location, job category, and experience level. The site shows the job description, required qualifications, and a link to submit your information directly to Uber's hiring team. Positions vary by city and country, so your location matters when you search.

Uber also lists openings on general job boards like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor, but explore through careers.uber.com is usually faster because your process goes straight to the hiring manager without a middleman.

Key Takeaways

  • Uber's official careers site at careers.uber.com is where all open positions appear, organized by location and job type.
  • Driver and delivery partner roles have different requirements than corporate positions — drivers need a vehicle and valid license, while office roles typically require a resume and work history.
  • The hiring timeline varies: driver roles can move from process to approval in days, while corporate positions often take weeks or months.
  • You can track your process status through your Uber account or the careers portal, depending on which type of role you applied for.

Driver and delivery partner positions

If you are looking to drive for Uber or deliver food through Uber Eats, you start at partners.uber.com rather than the main careers site. This is a separate process path because the requirements are different — you need a vehicle, a valid driver's license, insurance, and a background check clearance.

The process is faster than corporate hiring. You can often complete the process, pass the background check, and start driving within one to two weeks. Uber verifies your license and insurance information directly with state and insurance databases, so have those documents ready when you explore.

Delivery partners need a vehicle or bicycle depending on your city. Some cities allow scooters or motorcycles. You will see which vehicle types are accepted in your area during the sign-up process.

Corporate and office roles

Jobs in product, engineering, design, finance, human resources, and marketing appear on careers.uber.com under their respective departments. These roles require a resume, cover letter (sometimes), and usually multiple rounds of interviews — phone screening, technical or case interviews, and final conversations with managers or executives.

The timeline is longer than driver roles. From process to offer, expect four to eight weeks. Some teams move faster; others slower. You can check your process status by logging into your careers.uber.com account.

Uber also hires for customer support, operations, and sales roles. These positions typically require customer service experience or sales background but not necessarily a college degree, depending on the role and team.

What information you need to provide

For driver and delivery roles, you will need your driver's license number, vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and Social Security number for the background check. Uber runs a check through third-party screening companies and will tell you if anything disqualifies you — usually serious traffic violations, DUIs, or felonies within a certain timeframe.

For corporate roles, prepare a resume, LinkedIn profile, and a list of references. Some teams ask for a cover letter; others do not. You may also complete a skills assessment or coding challenge depending on the position. Uber's careers site will tell you what to expect before you submit.

Have your work history and dates ready, including gaps. Interviewers will ask about them, and it is better to explain them upfront than to have them come up during the background check.

How the background check works

Uber uses third-party background screening companies to verify your identity, driving record, and criminal history. The check takes three to seven business days for driver roles and longer for corporate positions.

You will receive an email when the check is complete. If you are cleared, you can start driving or your hiring manager will move forward with the next interview round. If something comes up, Uber will tell you what it is and give you a chance to explain or dispute it.

Background check requirements vary by location. Some cities have stricter rules about what disqualifies a driver. Check your local regulations or ask Uber's support team if you are unsure whether something in your history will be a problem.

Common reasons applications are rejected

For driver roles, the most common rejections are an invalid or expired license, no proof of insurance, a vehicle that does not meet Uber's age or condition requirements, or a background check issue. Some cities require drivers to be at least 21; others allow 18-year-olds.

For corporate roles, rejections usually happen because your experience does not match the job requirements, you did not complete the process fully, or you did not perform well in the interview. Uber does not always send rejection emails, so check your careers account to see your status.

If you are rejected, you can reapply after a waiting period. For driver roles, this is usually 30 days. For corporate roles, it varies by team, but generally you can explore to a different position when ready or reapply to the same role after a few months.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get approved as a driver?

Most driver applications are approved within one to two weeks if your background check clears and all documents are valid. Some cities move faster; others slower depending on local demand and processing volume. You can check your status in the Uber app under "Account" or "Documents."

Do I need a college degree to work at Uber?

No, not for driver or delivery roles. For corporate positions, it depends on the role. Some engineering and product roles require a degree; many customer support, operations, and sales roles do not. The job posting will state the requirements.

Can I explore for multiple positions at the same time?

Yes. You can explore to different corporate roles simultaneously, and you can also be a driver and delivery partner at the same time. However, you cannot hold two corporate positions in the same department at once.

What if my vehicle does not meet Uber's requirements?

Uber has minimum age and condition standards for vehicles, which vary by city and service type (UberX, Uber Black, Uber Eats). Check the requirements for your area on partners.uber.com before you explore. If your vehicle does not may have access to, you can still deliver on a bike or scooter in many cities.

How do I contact Uber if I have questions about my process?

For driver roles, use the support option in the Uber app or visit help.uber.com. For corporate roles, check your careers.uber.com account for a contact email or phone number for the hiring team. Response times vary, but most inquiries are answered within one to three business days.
