Uber Driver App Tester in Switzerland - Remote Freelance — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
This Testlio freelance testing gig is highly async-friendly — there are no fixed hours, no mandatory meetings, and you set your own schedule. It runs on a regular weekly cadence with ad-hoc tasks, so you can pick up work when it suits you, making it compatible with a flexible lifestyle.
However, there is one critical constraint: you must be physically located in Switzerland during the testing period. This is because the project tests the Uber Driver app specifically in the Swiss market, so your real-world location matters. This is not a role you can do from Lisbon or Bangkok — it requires Swiss presence.
For digital nomads already in Switzerland (e.g., on a tourist visa, which allows up to 90 days in the Schengen Area), this could be a convenient way to earn supplemental income without a formal work permit, though you should verify local freelance income regulations. Switzerland is not in the EU/EEA, so standard EU digital nomad visas don't apply here.
- Cost of living note: At $27/hr, even a few hours a week earns meaningful supplemental income in Switzerland, where costs are high — but this is not a full-time income source.
- Payment: Weekly via PayPal or Payoneer — both widely accessible for travelers and nomads globally.
If you're passing through Switzerland and are an active Uber Driver, this is a low-commitment way to monetize a few spare hours.
Hi there! We are Testlio, a global software testing company with its own freelance network. Our freelancers test apps from companies across the globe. Testlio is a great place for people who value the freedom and flexibility of remote work.
At the moment, we're working with Uber to help bring improvements to their Uber Driver app. We're looking for already registered and active Uber drivers located in Switzerland to test out new features of the app. Your feedback will be valuable in ensuring that other users such as yourself will have a smooth experience on the app.
To participate in this project, you will need to create an account on our platform. Through this account, we can assign you testing tasks. You will be asked to use our website for defect tracking and will receive materials to prepare you for testing.
Pay rate: $27 USD / hour
- You will be paid per hour, not per issues/bugs you find on the Uber app. That way, you will get paid even if you don't find any bugs.
- You can choose to be paid via PayPal or Payoneer for tasks completed on our website.
