About the job

At Lyft, we are dedicated to fostering connections and enhancing the way people move. Our mission is to create an inclusive workplace where every team member feels valued and has the chance to excel.

The Mapping team at Lyft is on a mission to construct an innovative digital representation of the physical world—a detailed map. We focus on gathering and delivering the most accurate and up-to-date mapping data, complemented by advanced algorithms, models, platform services, and user experiences that fuel Lyft’s current and future transportation solutions.

Mapping presents a significant opportunity for Lyft’s growth, but it also comes with challenges. We design and scale systems that handle substantial data storage, real-time data processing, machine learning pipelines, and tracking systems for both drivers and passengers, among others. Our goal is to create captivating user experiences that stand out in a competitive landscape where established players have been in the mapping sector for years.

As our engineering team expands rapidly, we seek dynamic Engineering Managers who can help us scale effectively. Our engineers are intelligent, adaptable, and thrive on tackling complex challenges. They expect their managers to provide organizational clarity, career guidance, mentorship, and constructive feedback. They are driven to move quickly and deploy code to production continuously, relying on their leadership to enhance productivity by eliminating obstacles and streamlining procedures.
