To get to know you and your inspirations on the job a bit better, your interviewer wants to hear what you feel would be a positive challenge if you were to join the Uber team. State your current experience and contrast it with the challenge you're looking for in seeking this position. Explain why you want this challenge, and how it'll help you in your career, and what its place is in your trajectory. Describe why challenges are appealing to you and what role you might play in finding solutions. One possible route to take your answer to this question could be jumping to a new industry like Uber, where using creative problem solving to solve transportation issues around the world is an everyday job. You could also talk about challenges that demonstrate one or two of the cultural norms at Uber, like persevering through adversity or taking risks and failing.

"As you can see from my resume, most of my experience is in the private software industry. In looking for a new challenge upon seeking a new role, Uber really caught my eye because of the groundbreaking work you are doing to make a positive change in our world. The biggest hurdle for me will be initially learning your industry, which I would plan to tackle in my first couple of months on the job if I were fortunate enough to join your team."

In the positions I've held in the past, I have learned that I am very good at finding creative solutions to whatever problem is thrown my way. I am most comfortable when I am expected to question and get to understand a system or process to find an even better way to make it work. Having gone through Uber's information I believe that this is a mentality that the company values. Furthermore, in the position I am applying to, my analytical capacity and bold solution mindset will be very useful. Finally, I've seen that Uber is struggling with the problem of making the solution it offers profitable. Since Uber's products are fantastic, I believe there is a way to do it, and would love to have the opportunity of helping to find it.
