Uber salaries revealed: See how much the ride-hailing company pays data scientists, software engineers, and others
An Uber logo is shown on a rideshare vehicle during a statewide day of action to demand that ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft follow California law and grant drivers "basic employee rights'', in Los Angeles, California, U.S., August 20, 2020. Mike Blake/Reuters Uber is hiring as the company works to become a "super app." Software engineers can make base salaries of up to $312,700, according to federal data. Here's what Uber pays some of its tech workers, from product managers to data scientists. Uber is hiring people as it tries to become a "super app." So how much is it paying them? You're probably familiar with the millions of gig workers who drive you to the airport or deliver your food. Now, Uber is looking to expand those services — with self-driving cars, for example — as well as offer customers targeted offers. "We're slowly moving towards a super app of sorts," CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said. Some of the people whom Uber has hired as it tries to make that vision a reality have come from outside the US via H-1B visas. Companies are required to submit this work visa data, which includes salary information, to the US Department of Labor for all foreign hires. However, the compensation figures don't include equity or other benefits that employees can receive in addition to their base pay. The filings also include industry average pay rates for US workers. The process for obtaining an H-1B visa, however, is changing. In September, President Donald Trump instituted a $100,000 fee for the visa. And proposed changes to H-1B visa rules would tilt the already competitive visa lottery in favor of the highest-paid applicants, lawyers told Business Insider. Uber filed to hire 945 workers through the H-1B visa program during the 2025 federal fiscal year, which ended on September 30, according to filings with the US Department of Labor. That's more than the 778 filings that Uber made during 2024. Business Insider analyzed how much money companies from Apple to Walmart are paying for tech jobs and other roles.
