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.

The Rider Loyalty team is where riders become members. We build the membership, rewards, and benefits products that give people a reason to choose Lyft on every trip, and we make sure the value a rider has earned shows up at the moment it matters. Loyalty sits inside the Rider Loyalty, Partnerships, and Rider Pay (PLP) group.

You will lead a team of engineers across iOS, Android, and Server. You will own the membership and rewards platform end to end and work daily with Product, Design, Data Science, and Partnerships.

Responsibilities:

• Own the Loyalty roadmap from strategy through delivery. Turn goals like member growth and retention into an engineering plan, and manage the dependencies that run through Partnerships and Rider Pay.
• Build and scale the systems behind membership, rewards earning and redemption, and benefit delivery.
• Hold a high technical bar through architecture reviews, tech debt management, observability, reliability, and on-call.
• Grow engineers by matching people to the right opportunities, setting clear expectations, and giving feedback early.

Experience:

• 5+ years building software professionally, including 2+ years directly managing engineers.
• You have managed a team that shipped both mobile and backend work, and you can still read and review code in at least one of those areas.
• You have owned a consumer product used by millions of people each month.
• You use AI tools in your own work and have a clear view of where they help and where they do not.
• BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

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 with company match 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 and Lyft ride credits
