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.
The Fulfillment group, within the Marketplace at Lyft, is responsible for determining what inventory can be reliably offered for a given rider session and fulfilling rider requests. The group comprises several sub-teams that generate feasible offers for riders, connect rider requests with drivers, and maintain a demand and supply lifecycle platform that powers an exceptional rideshare experience.
As a software engineer at Lyft, you will collaborate with other engineers and cross-functional teams, such as product, data science, and analytics, to lead and execute large projects—from concept to efficient execution. We are looking for a motivated Software Engineer who is passionate about solving challenging technical problems and excited to work in a fast-paced, innovative, and cross-functional environment. In this role, you will tackle some of the most interesting and impactful problems in ridesharing.
The Matching team at Lyft is responsible for improving how drivers are dispatched, directly impacting business-level goals like increased driver utilization and lower fulfillment costs. This team defines new new ride modes, tunes scoring and filtering decisions, applies geospatial (walking) and temporal (waiting) levers, and extends the time horizon for decision evaluation. If you are excited about algorithmic back-end systems and owning a mission-critical part of Lyft’s operations, this team is for you.
Key traits for success include being passionate about Lyft’s business and product, a quick learner, a collaborative mindset, and an eagerness to drive initiatives both within and across teams. You'll be joining a small, close-knit team with passionate, collaborative co-workers.
