Hi Change,

Some of you might remember me from my days at UW in years past. I now work on the India Growth team at Uber – we're hiring software engineers (and other roles) for my team, which I think is very relevant for Change members.

For me, in many ways this is the dream job I envisioned back in my ICTD days at UW – we're working on solving hard technical problems that directly improve lives of people in resource-constrained regions, both by fundamentally improving access to transportation and creating jobs (thousands of new jobs every week), with products that are used by millions on a daily basis.

Some examples of the problems we're solving:

* reinventing safety infrastructure and background checks to improve safety standards in coordination with local governments

* training underserved populations to develop professional skills and improve their access to equitable earning opportunities

Of the 50+ countries we operate in, India is one of the fastest growing markets in Uber's history. By providing access to safe, reliable, and affordable transportation at scale, we’re making India a better place to live and creating a model for technology improving lives in developing countries.

If you're interested in joining us (or know someone who might be), feel free to get in touch with me at sunil@uber.com. I'm also happy to chat about other roles or teams at Uber.

Regards,

Sunil
