Description
At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. We aim to achieve this by cultivating a work environment where all team members belong and have the opportunity to thrive.
Marketplace teams are at the heart of our products and decision-making, owning everything from rider pricing to driver earnings, incentives, and efficient matching. We’re looking for passionate, driven backend engineers to build systems that empower our riders and drivers to have the best transportation experience possible through prediction, adaptivity, and personalization.
The Pricing group is a centerpiece of Lyft’s Marketplace org, determining prices for all rideshare products and supporting new initiatives. Unlike the other Pricing teams, Price Orchestration does not focus on optimization, but rather the backend infrastructure to combine these optimization components with product requirements, orchestrating users’ pricing experiences. To accomplish this, we maintain and develop three platforms: pricing, discounting, and tax. We work in a cross-functional capacity, aligning product, science, legal, finance, customer support, and many other functions to solve and implement complex pricing requirements, balancing the needs of riders, drivers, and the business goals. As an owner of one of the most critical flows in the company, you will work on a wide array of challenges such as latency-sensitive concurrency problems, large scale distributed systems, and experimentation. If you’re interested in playing a large part in demand / supply management and improving the Lyft customer experience, this could be a great fit for you.
Responsibilities:
- Drive high-impact projects and innovate new solutions to provide the best user experience.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams and partner teams to develop solutions based on technology and business needs, and advance team’s goals and priorities
- Independently lead features from idea to positive execution and launch
- Unblock, support and communicate with internal partners to achieve results
- Write well-crafted, well-tested, readable, maintainable code
- Utilize your expertise in Python, Golang, AWS to deliver robust and scalable solutions
- Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and distribute knowledge, as well as on call rotations
- Share your knowledge by giving brown bags, tech talks, and promoting appropriate tech and engineering best practices
Experience:
- BS/MS or equivalent in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field or relevant work experience
- 3+ years of software engineering industry experience
- Extensive experience in object oriented programming, ideally in GoLang or Python
- Experience in backend software development of distributed systems and concurrency
- Strong oral and written communication skills, and ability to collaborate with and influence cross-functional partners
Benefits:
- Extended health and dental coverage options, along with life insurance and disability benefits
- Mental health benefits
- Family building benefits
- Child care and pet benefits
- Access to a Lyft funded Health Care Savings Account
- RRSP plan with company match to help save for your future
- In addition to provincial observed holidays, salaried team members are covered under Lyft's flexible paid time off policy. The policy allows team members to take off as much time as they need (with manager approval). Hourly team members get 15 days paid time off, with an additional day for each year of service
- Lyft is proud to support new parents with 18 weeks of paid time off, designed as a top-up plan to complement provincial programs. Biological, adoptive, and foster parents are all eligible.
- Subsidized commuter benefits and Lyft ride credits
