At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. We aim to achieve this by cultivating a work environment where all team members belong and have the opportunity to thrive. Our mission depends on having a digital representation of the physical world - a map with all routing related (real-time) information. This is what makes Lyft different from many products: our products don’t just facilitate online interactions, they facilitate dynamic, real-world ones. Without mapping services, none of these real world interactions between people and transport can happen. We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our Pickup, Places and Search team within the Mapping organization that is responsible for building, enhancing and maintaining the Rider and Driver product for the Pickup/Drop off Experience. This team supports the backbone of Lyft’s search system, supporting millions of rides by helping our riders and drivers connect and reach their destination. Our focus is to ensure the pickup/dropoff experience is seamless by enhancing guidance and routing as well as the rider experience. Additionally the team uses map data and other signals to create new product experiences in collaboration with teams across Lyft. This team has a history of enabling rich and creative features that directly influence the product for all of our users. We constantly innovate and incorporate cutting-edge technologies to make the lives of our community more enriched. In this role, you'll collaborate with other engineering teams, product, data science, analytics, and operations on programs that empower us to iterate quickly, delighting our passengers and drivers with rideshare focused mapping experiences. Responsibilities: Drive high-impact projects and innovate new solutions to provide the best customer experiences Lead backend and cross functional projects to achieve long term goals as well as deliver short term roadmaps Lead large features from idea to successful execution and launch Own systems and

At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. We aim to achieve this by cultivating a work environment where all team members belong and have the opportunity to thrive. Lyft connects people to transportation to change the way we live and get around our communities. We are looking for product managers who bring exceptional creative and analytical skills to drive forward a best in class product. Product management at Lyft leads the integration of engineering, data science, and design to achieve the company’s vision for reinventing transportation. We are looking for entrepreneurial and passionate Product Managers to innovate and execute across a rapidly growing, fast paced company and industry from our San Francisco headquarters. The Core Rider team is responsible for the Lyft consumer app you know and love. This team spans the entire consumer journey across the request and purchase flows, search, pickups and dropoffs, the post-match experience, and the in-trip experience. As a Staff Product Manager on the Core Rider team, you’ll lead a large cross-functional team to build the rider “journey” (anything that gets a rider from A to B.) This includes the home screen, request flow, pickup experience, in-ride experience, and rate & pay. You’ll also be responsible for how this “golden path” experience extends to serve AVs and segments of interest – owning targeted experiences like Lyft Silver for Seniors and Price Lock for commuters. This represents a large percentage of the core Lyft rider experience used by millions of people every day. Plus, the solutions you build need to work everywhere, from the simplest suburban home to JFK Airport, and all modes of transportation (rideshare, AVs, etc.). Responsibilities: Understand Lyft's strategic and competitive position. Set goals and success metrics that align with Lyft's mission and drive maximum impact based on data analysis, market research and usability studies Set an incredibly ambitious vision that motivates and i

We are looking for entrepreneurial and passionate Product Managers to innovate and execute across a rapidly growing, fast paced company and industry from our Toronto office. Every great support experience depends on the person behind it having the right tools, context, and intelligence to solve the problem in front of them. The Platform & Data teams build the tools our human support agents work in every day—and own the data that tells Lyft, and the world, what our customers are actually experiencing. As AI rapidly changes what's possible, we're reinventing how agents work: pairing them with copilots and AI that surface the right answer instantly, take on repetitive work, and raise the quality and consistency of every interaction. At the same time, we're building the data foundation that turns millions of support contacts into an accurate, trusted view of issue types and trends—used inside the team, across the company, and in what we report externally. This role owns that mandate end to end: setting the vision and strategy, and driving execution on the hardest problems across both the platform and its data.
