Senior Data Engineer, PickupXP

Job Description

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.

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.
