Uber operates a global mobility and delivery platform supported by about 36,700 employees. Recent staffing data shows 2,262 hires and 1,949 departures, yielding modest net growth and signalling relatively steady workforce levels. Talent spans product development, marketplace operations, corporate functions, and front-line support roles that keep its apps and services running around the clock. The headcount profile highlights the scale required to match rider demand with driver and courier supply in hundreds of cities worldwide.
Sales and Support is Uber’s largest division with roughly 16,400 employees, accounting for close to half of companywide headcount and reflecting the importance of rider, driver, and courier assistance. Engineering follows at just under 5,600 employees, underscoring continual investment in app performance, mapping, pricing algorithms, and autonomous research. Business Management and Operations teams together exceed 8,500 employees and guide marketplace strategy, regional execution, and partner relations. Smaller but essential groups such as Marketing & Product, Finance & Administration, IT, Human Resources, Legal, and an "Other" bucket collectively add more than 4,000 additional positions to round out the organization.
Uber’s workforce is distributed across dozens of hubs, with the largest concentrations in San Francisco (around 3,200 employees) and New York City (about 2,400). Additional U.S. clusters include Chicago, Phoenix, Seattle, and Los Angeles, each hosting several hundred to over a thousand workers who oversee regional operations and support. Internationally, Bengaluru, São Paulo, and Amsterdam serve as key engineering, support, and corporate centers. A further group of more than 26,000 employees is spread across other cities worldwide, illustrating the company’s need for localized expertise in both mature and emerging markets.
