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.

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.
