At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.
Data Science is at the heart of Lyft’s products and decision-making. Data Scientists at Lyft work in dynamic environments, where we embrace moving quickly to build the world’s best transportation. We take on a variety of problems ranging from shaping long-term business strategy with data, making short-term critical decisions, and building algorithms/models that power our internal and external products.
As a Data Scientist, you will be developing analyses, metrics, dashboards, and mathematical models underpinning the platform’s core services. Compared to other technology companies of a similar size, the set of problems that we tackle is incredibly diverse. They cut across optimization, prediction, modeling, inference, transportation, and mapping. We are hiring motivated experts in each of these fields. We're looking for someone who is passionate about solving mathematical problems with data, and are excited about working in a fast-paced, innovative and collegial environment.
We are looking for a Data Scientist to join the Rider Pricing team. The Pricing team owns the models and software systems that determine the prices shown to riders.
