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.

- 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.
- Communicate analytical approach, assumptions, and results clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
