About the Team – Community Operations & Incident Response Team (IRT) 

Community Operations is at the heart of our #BuildWithHeart approach at Uber. We work with customers, earners, and partners at enormous scale, helping operationalize every new and existing product and idea across the company.

The IRT handles safety incidents reported by all users of the Uber platform, both consumers and earners. We investigate by reviewing user accounts, contacting all involved parties, and making recommendations based on the information gathered. We typically handle mild to moderate safety reports such as verbal and physical altercations, and accidents.
