Senior Engineering Manager, Mapping

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.

The Mapping team at Lyft is tasked with building a digital representation of the physical world - a map. We collect and serve the freshest and most accurate mapping data possible, along with algorithms, models, platform services, and map-based user experiences that power Lyft’s current and future transportation offerings.

Mapping represents a huge opportunity for Lyft’s business, but also a big challenge. We build and scale systems that deal with large data storage, real-time data processing, machine / deep learning pipelines, routing and ETA models, driver and passenger location tracking, and more. We built beautiful and magical user experiences on top of all those services, and compete with companies that have been in the mapping business for decades.

Our engineering team is growing rapidly, and we are looking for Engineering Managers to help us scale. Our engineers are smart, flexible, and love solving difficult challenges. They look to their managers for organizational transparency, career development, mentorship, and honest feedback. They move fast and ship code to production continuously, relying on their leadership to increase productivity by removing obstacles and keeping processes lean.

Responsibilities:

• Manage a rapidly growing team of engineers developing user-facing Mapping experiences

• Mentor and guide the professional and technical development of your team members. Help develop their careers and assign them to projects tailored to their skill levels, personalities, work styles, and professional goals

• Build teams that are collaborative, inclusive, and respectful of each other

• Provide continuous feedback, address underperformance, and recognize the individual strengths and contributions of your team members
