Uber Internships 2026
Uber's internship program places students at the intersection of technology and transportation — interns work on the systems powering 130 million monthly active users across rides, delivery (Uber Eats), freight, and autonomous vehicles. Uber hires 400–600 interns annually across software engineering, product management, data science, operations, and marketing. The 12-week summer program is based primarily in San Francisco, with positions also in New York, Chicago, Seattle, and Sunnyvale. Uber's engineering culture emphasizes ownership and impact — interns ship features that millions of people use within weeks, and the company's startup-at-scale energy means there's minimal bureaucracy between your idea and production deployment.
