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.

Marketplace teams are at the heart of our products and decision-making, owning everything from rider pricing to driver earnings, incentives, and efficient matching. We’re looking for passionate, driven engineers to build systems that empower our riders and drivers to have the best transportation experience possible through prediction, adaptivity, and personalization. We’re looking for someone who is excited about working in a fast-paced, innovative, and impactful environment to create reliable solutions to distributed computing, ML, and data problems.

The Pricing team is a centerpiece of Lyft’s Marketplace org, determining prices for all rideshare products and supporting new initiatives. Rider Engagement develops rider-facing engagement levers and optimizes user pricing experience to drive both short term and long term business outcomes. We work with Product & Science to solve and implement complex pricing requirements, balancing the needs of riders, drivers, and the business goals. As an owner of one of the most critical flows in the company, you will work on a wide array of challenges such as latency-sensitive concurrency problems, large scale distributed systems, and experimentation. If you’re interested in playing a large part in demand / supply management and improving the Lyft customer experience, this could be a great fit for you.

• Write well-crafted, well-tested, readable, maintainable code
• Unblock, support and communicate with internal partners to achieve results
• Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and distribute knowledge, as well as on call rotations
• Share your knowledge by giving brown bags, tech talks, and promoting appropriate tech and engineering best practices

Experience:

• BS/MS or equivalent in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field or relevant work experience
• 2-4 years of software engineering industry experience
• Extensive experience in object oriented programming, ideally in Python
• Experience designing, debugging and running fault-tolerant, highly available, large-scale distributed systems
• Experience working with public cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Microsoft Azure, etc.)
• Strong oral and written communication skills, and ability to collaborate with and influence cross-functional partners

Benefits:

• Extended health and dental coverage options, along with life insurance and disability benefits
• Mental health benefits

• 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
