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.

As a Staff Android Engineer, on the Rider App group in the Rider org, you will work on one of Lyft’s most critical Rider flows. The Rider App group is responsible not only for the critical flows in the app but also the app platform and quality. We build and iterate on rider facing products that not only ensure a seamless experience for our riders, but also aim to build and deepen Rider-Lyft relationships.
