About the role and team 

The Global Fix Experience (GFX) team operates at the intersection of Customer Experience, Product, and Engineering, helping Uber identify and respond to customer-facing product issues and major outages at global scale.

The team connects technical and customer impact, ensures the right stakeholders are engaged, and supports timely mitigation, communication, and customer-impact response.
