Applications Developer I

About the Team

Uber's Finance Data Platform team builds and operates the foundational data products that power Uber's financial and profitability insights. We produce trusted, reconciled, and scalable financial and performance metrics used across all of Uber’s Lines of Business (LOBs) and Products.

Our datasets and metrics sit at the core of how Uber understands business performance today and plans for tomorrow: they support reporting, forecasting, profitability analyses, investment cases, and future capital allocation decisions. We partner closely with Finance, Accounting, FP&A, Product, Data, and Operations teams to ensure stakeholders have a single source of truth for financial and profitability performance.

About the Role

Working closely with senior analysts, PMs, and Finance partners, you will contribute to the development of key financial and profitability metrics, build reporting and analytical views, and deliver high-quality analyses that support strategic decisions and capital allocation across Uber.

You will grow into a trusted partner to Finance and Product stakeholders, translating financial and operational data into clear, structured insights and helping ensure that decisions are anchored on accurate, consistent metrics. You will also contribute to GenAI-powered self-serve tools that make Finance Data Platform data more accessible to internal customers.

3. Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reports using existing curated data models and views to provide a single source of truth for business performance analyses and financial reporting.
4. Analyze large-scale financial and operational datasets to identify trends, drivers, and anomalies in revenue, cost, profitability, and efficiency, and summarize findings in a clear, structured way.
5. Provide analyses and data extracts that feed into strategic planning and capital allocation discussions, under the guidance of senior team members.
6. Partner with Finance and Product teams to define and track KPIs for products, features, and business initiatives, ensuring that performance is measured consistently over time.
7. Collaborate with data engineers and finance stakeholders to flag data quality issues, contribute to validation checks, and support reconciliation between financial systems and analytical datasets.
8. Contribute to GenAI-powered self-serve analytics tools (e.g., natural-language query interfaces, chat-based explainers, curated FAQs) that help internal customers quickly get answers and explanations from Finance Data Platform metrics.
9. Communicate analytical approach, assumptions, and results clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

Basic Qualifications

1. 2–4+ years of experience in an analytics-focused role (e.g., Data Analyst, BI Analyst, Product Analyst, or similar) working with data to support business decisions.
