Software Engineer, MapXP at Lyft

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.

The Mapping organization at Lyft has spent the last few years building up Lyft’s mapping assets and capabilities by combining many internal and external data sources and services into an increasingly powerful and mission-critical technology stack. In doing so, we’ve also enabled new user experiences and features across all of Lyft’s products, including rideshare industry leading firsts like CarPlay, Android Auto, and real-time driver feedback!

We are hiring a Software Engineer to join our Mapping experiences team that builds end user features to enhance drivers and riders experience on Lyft’s platform by using our in house navigation system. We are looking for an engineer with expertise in system architecture, cross team collaboration, and experience in building scalable solutions in the cloud environments.

In this role, you'll collaborate with engineering, product, data science, analytics, operations, and AI/ML teams on programs that empower us to iterate quickly, delighting our passengers and drivers with rideshare focused mapping experiences.

Experience:

• BS/MS or equivalent in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field or relevant work experience
• 5+ years of software engineering/production infrastructure industry experience
• Experience designing, debugging and running fault-tolerant, highly available, large-scale distributed systems
• Experience working with public cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Microsoft Azure, etc.)
• Experience working with databases, relational or NoSQL
• Led a set of components from design to launch
• It would be a huge plus to have:
• Proficiency with Go and Python

• In addition to provincial observed holidays, salaried team members are covered under Lyft's flexible paid time off policy. The policy allows team members to take off as much time as they need (with manager approval). Hourly team members get 15 days paid time off, with an additional day for each year of service
• Lyft is proud to support new parents with 18 weeks of paid time off, designed as a top-up plan to complement provincial programs. Biological, adoptive, and foster parents are all eligible.
• Subsidized commuter benefits and Lyft ride credits
