About the role and team
Talent Acquisition at Uber is where we find the builders who move the real world. As a Senior Technical Sourcer, you won’t just fill seats; you will partner with hiring managers to scale teams across a high-stakes, fast-moving landscape. You will navigate the complexity of multiple business lines, using data to influence senior stakeholders and unblock hiring bottlenecks.
This isn't a transactional role. It requires grit and a deep curiosity to map talent markets and advocate for candidates who have the right mindset, not just the technical skills.

- Actively advocate for candidates by aligning their unique motivations and skills with team missions and Uber’s broader business strategy.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with recruiters and hiring managers to troubleshoot the assessment process and remove friction points.
- Champion a high-quality candidate experience, ensuring every interaction reflects a commitment to excellence even when the pace is intense.
