Our Design teams are focused not just on the functional, but also on joy and delight. Our work ignites opportunity and changes the way the world moves, and we design for users around the world of all backgrounds and abilities.

About The Role

As a UX Writer, you'll work on the Product Design team to build intuitive, resonant experiences for the people who use our apps around the globe, while helping grow the UX Writing function at Uber.

Our UX writing team is a group of language specialists within Product Design. We believe in holistic experiences and work tightly with designers and researchers to make sure the work we produce is cohesive, coherent, and encourages confident action by our customers! You will be part of the Rides Design Studio, which consists of the Rider design team, the Driver design team, and a set of horizontal product solutions that we call Foundations. You'll work among engineers, product designers, product managers, and fellow UX writers in a fast-paced, rapidly growing environment.
