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 is looking for software engineers from a variety of backgrounds. We are looking for engineers who are motivated to deliver experiences that enrich the lives of our drivers and riders. As a senior engineer at Lyft, you will collaborate with team members across engineering, product, data science, and more to build and improve impactful products.

Over the past several years, we have seen a massive increase in Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption. As a member of the Electrification team, you will work with partners across the company to build and improve experiences for our EV drivers and riders – all while making a positive impact on the planet. This is one of Lyft’s newest teams, so you will have the opportunity to work on greenfield projects.
