Uber operates a multi-modal transportation and delivery platform supported by a workforce of roughly 36,000 employees. Recent staffing data shows 2,348 new hires and 2,266 departures, indicating a largely stable employee base with modest net growth. The company maintains talent across product development, marketplace operations, corporate functions, and front-line support roles that keep its ride-hailing and delivery services running around the clock.
Sales and Support is Uber’s largest division with about 16,300 employees, accounting for nearly half of total headcount and reflecting the scale of rider, driver, and courier assistance required for the platform. Engineering follows at roughly 5,500 employees, underscoring continued investment in app performance, mapping, pricing algorithms, and autonomous research. Business Management and Operations teams collectively exceed 8,500 employees and manage marketplace strategy, regional execution, and partner relations. Smaller yet essential groups such as Marketing & Product, Finance & Administration, IT, Human Resources, and Legal round out the organization, each supporting day-to-day business continuity and compliance.
Uber’s workforce is distributed across dozens of global hubs, with the largest concentrations in San Francisco (about 3,200 employees) and New York City (around 2,400). Significant offices in Chicago, Phoenix, Seattle, and Los Angeles support U.S. regional operations, while Bengaluru, São Paulo, and Amsterdam represent key engineering, support, and corporate centers outside the United States. An additional group of more than 1,200 employees is spread across other cities worldwide, reflecting Uber’s need for localized expertise in both mature and emerging markets.
