ABOUT THE TEAM:
Are you passionate about data tools? The Business Intelligence Tools team is building the next generation of analytics tools to guide business decisions.
Uber's vast data sets form the backbone of every decision at Uber, from infrastructure capacity planning to estimating the time it takes for an UberEats order to complete. You'll take ownership of the services that ensure the reliability of these data decisions. We are constantly scaling our services to match Uber's analytical needs. Global operations teams rely on exploration tools to quickly answer questions, improve efficiency, and visualize their city health.
