Experience Inc. Jobs

At Lyft, our mission is to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.

Our transport network serves the needs of millions of people every day who want to get from one place to another using Lyft cars, bikes and scooters, with public transportation, or on foot. To serve these needs in the best possible way we maintain a map that is reflecting our constantly changing environment. Our systems draw knowledge distilled from all the data points collected every minute - driving locations, sensor data, and user feedback. This empowers us to use the map and answer questions such as: Which route should be taken? Which transport mode is ideal in this location? Has the event in my town resulted in road closures? Is a U-turn allowed at that specific location? Is the drop-off location considered safe? And many more.

To strengthen our efforts, we are hiring a Software Engineer who will work in the mapping data collection domain, driving features to bring our data collection programs to the next level.
