Without mapping services, none of these real world interactions between people and transport can happen.

This team supports the backbone of Lyft's search system, supporting millions of rides by helping our riders and drivers connect and reach their destination. Additionally the team uses map data and other signals to create new product experiences in collaboration with teams across Lyft.

This team has a history of enabling rich and creative features that directly influence the product for all of our users. We constantly innovate and incorporate cutting‑edge technologies to make the lives of our community more enriched.

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.
