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.

As the Engineering Manager for the Risk Tech - Claims team at Lyft, you will oversee the technical development and architecture of the systems that support our Claims experience. Your role involves leading a team of engineers to build and refine the technology that enables drivers to report accidents, update internal records efficiently, and interface seamlessly with external insurance partners to expedite the process of getting drivers back on the road. Given that insurance represents Lyft's largest variable cost, your focus will be on developing cost-effective and scalable solutions that contribute positively to the company's overall profit and loss (P&L). You will work closely with Product Management to understand the product vision and translate this into technical strategies and implementations. Additionally, as Lyft collaborates with leading insurance carriers and technology providers, you will engage in strategic technical discussions to shape the long-term infrastructure of our Insurance program, ensuring it aligns with industry standards and advancements.
