"Opportunities, mentorship, and ambitions paved the way for my journey from India to the United States. I moved with the intention of getting a Ph.D. in Computer Science but instead joined Uber after my Masters and have never looked back! Today, quite a few of my projects are innovative, big bold bets—something that has never been tried in the industry," shares Anwaya Aras, Engineering Manager, who reflects on her 5 years at Uber and what she's solving today in our latest careers blog →

At Uber we’re reimagining the way the world moves for the better. We are helping people go anywhere and get anything. And we do it on a global scale, at the speed of now.

“Millions of people miss doctor’s appointments every year because they don’t have a ride. And the people who really need these rides...can’t always use the Uber app. Uber Health doesn’t require riders to have smartphones or credit cards. [They] can get text messages or even landline calls about the trip. We’re building off of technology that this company built and it’s really helping people.” Learn more about Leor Shtull-Leber's 7 year Uber journey and why Uber Health is one of the most exciting places to be.
Jacob Adicoff is a Frontend Engineer on the Uber for Business team and a Paralympic silver medalist in cross-country skiing. Jacob is also legally blind; his mother contracted chicken pox during pregnancy, which affected his visual development. He has no vision in his right eye and very limited vision in his left. When Jacob was in second grade, his parents introduced him to skiing through the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s Junior Nordic Development team in his hometown of Sun Valley, Idaho, and he was hooked. “I just really took to it,” explains Jacob. “It’s cross country skiing, so it isn’t as fast as downhill skiing. You’re going up and down hills — it’s a total endurance sport.” Throughout his junior skiing career, he raced against an almost entirely sighted competition. His first Paralympics experience was in Sochi, Russia, at the age of 18, and although he didn’t win any medals, he describes it as a great and formative experience.
Alexandra (Ali) Faivus has been in sales for her entire career, which has spanned everything from publishing and ad tech to enterprise sales and management. She joined Uber five years ago, right as Uber for Business was taking shape. Ali is now the Head of Mid-Market Sales for North America, and she’s just as excited about what lies ahead as she was when she first started. “I’m still in awe of the products we’re able to create, the problems we’re able to solve, and the people I get to work with,” she says. “I’ve had a lot of different roles here at Uber, but to see how we’ve grown as an organization and how we’ve developed globally is really exciting.”
Today we are sharing our 5th update on diversity, equity and inclusion at Uber. Since our last update we made meaningful progress in increasing the diversity of our team. A few noteworthy highlights: - The global population of women grew almost 2 percentage points and women in leadership grew 1.2 percentage points. - In the US, the overall representation of underrepresented groups increased by 5 percentage points. - We saw a 2.8 percentage point increase of Black and African American individuals in the US. While we are glad with the progress we made, our work is never done. We will continue to work to ensure Uber is a great place to work for all.
