Courier is one of the fastest growing businesses at Uber. It is an on-demand C2C package delivery service used by small businesses and consumers. We have recently crossed 1B in ARR and are still scratching the surface. The product is very popular in Brazil & India and has a lot of headroom to grow in EMEA and US&C. Aside from core send & receive packages workflows, the product has many other use cases such as Store pick-ups, returns, intercity deliveries ( in Brazil ) etc as well as we are piloting new initiatives such as XL vehicles & high value item deliveries. The tech team is spread across US & India. India is the secondary site for Courier engineering. As a senior EM, you will lead the India org, hire aggressively and help it scale further.
