When does Uber post internships?

US software engineering internships for the next summer have mostly posted between August and October, with rolling review. Other regions and role families run their own schedules, and UberSTAR opened as late as spring in one recent cycle.

Can freshmen apply to Uber internships?

Yes, through UberSTAR, a paid engineering internship for first and second year students who have completed an introductory CS course. Community college students transferring into a four-year program are also eligible.

What is Uber Career Prep?

An unpaid virtual fellowship for undergraduate engineering students, with workshops, mentorship from Uber engineers, mock interviews, and technical practice. It is not an internship and does not guarantee an offer.

What is the Uber intern interview process?

Engineering candidates report a CodeSignal assessment, then live coding interviews with engineers. Later rounds include a project discussion and a behavioral conversation.

Uber internships: when they open and how to apply

Student hiring at Uber sits under an Emerging Talent team that runs software engineering, data science and applied science, and MBA internships, plus a rotational program on the business side. The interesting part is the ladder below the standard internship. UberSTAR is a paid engineering internship reserved for first and second year students, and Uber Career Prep is a free virtual fellowship that gets undergraduates ready for technical interviews.

Internships and programs at Uber

The early-career programs it runs for students and recent graduates, by the names it uses for them.

Software Engineering Internship Program: The main technical internship, for students in the middle or later years of a CS or similar degree. Interns land on product and platform teams and ship code that runs in the Uber and Uber Eats apps, out of hubs such as San Francisco, Sunnyvale, Seattle, and New York.
UberSTAR: A paid summer engineering internship for first and second year students, including community college students transferring into a four-year program. Recent postings asked for an introductory CS course and some basic programming in a language like Python, Java, or C++. Past UberSTAR interns have shipped features that showed up in the Uber Eats home feed.
Uber Career Prep: An unpaid, virtual fellowship for undergraduate engineering students, started in 2017 with The Hidden Genius Project. Fellows get workshops, one-on-one mentorship from Uber engineers, mock interviews, and take-home technical practice. It is interview prep, not a job, and it does not guarantee an internship offer.
Data Science & Applied Science Internships: Internships for students in statistics, economics, machine learning, and other quantitative fields. The work is the measurement and modeling behind a marketplace that matches riders, eaters, couriers, and drivers.
Strategy, Operations, Analytics Rotational Program: Uber's business-side early-career track: a rotation for graduates who want strategy, operations, and analytics work instead of engineering. It sits next to the internships on the Emerging Talent site.

When Uber posts internships

There is no single global opening date. Each region (US and Canada, EMEA, APAC, LATAM) and each role family runs its own schedule. US software engineering internships for the next summer have mostly posted between August and October, and review is rolling, so early applicants see the most open interview slots.

The first and second year programs don't always follow the main cycle. In at least one recent year UberSTAR opened in the spring, months after the standard SWE internship, which gave students who missed fall recruiting another shot. Uber Career Prep takes applications through its own form by cohort, with an interest form when a cohort is closed.

Who can apply

The standard internships are for students still enrolled in a degree program, with the graduation window stated on each posting. UberSTAR is limited to first and second year students, and Uber Career Prep to undergraduate engineering students; community college students are welcome in both.

Degree level, location, and work authorization rules differ by region and role, so check the individual requisition. Uber also runs She++, an early-career summit for women and people from underserved communities in Denmark, Brazil, India, and the Netherlands.

The interview process

For engineering internships, candidates commonly report a timed CodeSignal assessment as the first filter, then one or more live coding interviews with Uber engineers in a shared editor. Reported questions are standard data structures and algorithms, mostly medium difficulty with the occasional harder problem.

Later rounds add a conversation about past projects and a behavioral interview on collaboration. Business and data roles swap coding for case-style or analytical exercises and a meeting with the team.

Tips for applying to Uber

First or second year? Watch for UberSTAR separately from the main SWE posting. It has opened on its own calendar.
Career Prep pays off even if you aren't ready for an internship yet: mock interviews with Uber engineers are exactly the practice the assessment rewards.
Drill timed CodeSignal-style sets where partial credit counts. Candidates report that solving most of the set is often enough to advance.
Have a project story ready that involves real-time data or a two-sided product. It maps well onto how Uber teams describe their own work.
