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.

The Mapping organization at Lyft has spent the last few years building up Lyft’s mapping assets and capabilities by combining many internal and external data sources and services into an increasingly powerful and mission-critical technology stack. In doing so, we’ve also enabled new user experiences and features across all of Lyft’s products, including rideshare industry leading firsts like CarPlay, Android Auto, and real-time driver feedback!

We are hiring an Engineering Manager to lead one of our Mapping experiences teams that builds end user features to enhance drivers and riders experience on Lyft’s platform by using our in house navigation system.

In this role, you'll collaborate with engineering, product, data science, analytics, and operations on programs that empower us to iterate quickly, delighting our passengers and drivers with rideshare focused mapping experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Set the technical vision and strategy for a rapidly evolving product area
• Co-own the product strategy with the product partner and ensure a timely high quality delivery of the engineering solutions
• Lead a team of talented engineers who like to ship code and tackle hard engineering problems
• Mentor and guide the professional and technical development of your team members. Help develop their careers and assign them to projects tailored to their skill levels, personalities, work styles, and professional goals
• Build teams that are collaborative, inclusive, and respectful of each other
• Provide continuous feedback, address performance, and recognize the individual strengths and contributions of your team members
• Create plans for prioritizing technical and resourcing challenges in your organization
• Maintain a balance between building sustainable, high-impact projects and shipping things quickly
• Instil a spirit of continuous improvement in the team’s code, architecture, and processes
• Work closely with the Lyft recruiting team to hire high potential candidates from diverse backgrounds
• Work with your engineers and/or product managers to create roadmap, short term and long-term goals
• Own your team’s deliverables and ensure we continue to ship scalable, highly-available products that delight our passengers and drivers

Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams
• Experience architecting, building, and scaling distributed systems
• Experience launching consumer facing products and iterating through data-driven experimentation
• You have experience leading a team of engineers and guiding them through their career development
• You enjoy working in a collaborative environment, and you’re committed to driving projects to completion creatively
• You can motivate and instill a strong sense of ownership in your team
• You have experience guiding teams through planning, prioritization, and execution of work
• You are able to thrive in a heavily cross-functional environment and drive projects to completion regardless of the organizational structure
• You work well with product and science partners and help set the product vision for an ambiguous project

Benefits:

• Extended health and dental coverage options, along with life insurance and disability benefits
• Mental health benefits
• Family building benefits
• Child care and pet benefits
• Access to a Lyft funded Health Care Savings Account
• RRSP plan to help save for your future
• In addition to provincial observed holidays, salaried team members are covered under Lyft's flexible paid time off policy. The policy allows team members to take off as much time as they need (with manager approval). Hourly team members get 15 days paid time off, with an additional day for each year of service
• Lyft is proud to support new parents with 18 weeks of paid time off, designed as a top-up plan to complement provincial programs. Biological, adoptive, and foster parents are all eligible.
• Subsidized commuter benefits
