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.

Lyft’s engineering team is growing rapidly, and we are looking for engineering managers to help us scale. Our engineers are smart, flexible, and love solving difficult challenges. They look to their managers for organizational transparency, career development, mentorship, and honest feedback. They move fast and ship code to production continuously, relying on their leadership to increase productivity by removing obstacles and keeping processes lean. Our engineering managers are people with varying technical backgrounds and interests -- some are involved in the technical details of their team and others provide general technical direction and oversight. As managers, our job is to keep teams efficient and executing on the right goals. We build teams that are inclusive, helpful, and have a strong sense of ownership for the things they build.

The mission of the Pay Platform team at Lyft is to - Provide best-in-class- reliable, transparent and cost-effective payments platform to all Lyft products. The team is responsible for ensuring that all Lyft products - Rideshare, Bikes, Scooters, Subscription etc are able to cost effectively process payments, both, pay-ins and pay-outs. This means processing tens of billions of dollars in customer payments and driver payouts every year. The team also builds platform capabilities to support innovative payment products, some of the recent ones include Daily Billing, Lyft Cash, Lyft Direct, Subscriptions and several others. The team owns the integration with our 3rd party payment processors, co-brand partners and gift card program managers.
