Why we read it this way (6)
The posting lists multiple office locations (San Francisco CA, Seattle WA, Sunnyvale CA) with the same $52/hr rate; San Francisco CBSA is used as the primary location since it is listed first.
The role is not fully remote — Uber's policy requires at least 50% in-office time unless explicitly approved otherwise.
The language requirement (Go, Python, Java, or C/C++) is a hard gate stated under Basic Qualifications, but the JD explicitly treats them as interchangeable alternatives ('one or more … such as'). Go is listed as the primary name with the others captured as alternatives.
The degree requirement is 'actively pursuing' a Bachelor's or Master's — this is an enrollment requirement for the internship, not a completed-degree gate, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Being a member of the 2026 Uber Career Prep Cohort is listed as a preferred qualification and is a program-membership criterion rather than a concrete technology skill, so it is omitted from the skills list.
Posting is for a internship engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
