At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. To accomplish this, we start with our community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization. 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.

We are hiring a Software Engineer to join our Mapping organization. In this role, you'll collaborate with other engineering teams, product, data science, analytics, and operations on programs that empower us to iterate quickly, delighting our passengers and drivers with rideshare focused mapping experiences.
