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.
At the heart of Lyft’s platform is a sophisticated map-building engine that transforms raw data into a precise representation of the world. We are responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of our map data, processing billions of data points to extract and validate the structural elements of our road network. Our mission is to build a highly accurate, scalable map by distilling patterns from driving locations and sensor data into verified map attributes. By perfecting the core map build, we enable the entire platform to navigate complex urban environments with confidence - ensuring that every routing decision is based on a map with validated road rules, accurate geometry, and optimized drop-off locations.
