Software Engineer, Privacy

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.

Lyft is a global company that connects people to transportation to change the way we live and get around our communities. Our drivers and passengers entrust Lyft with their personal information and travel details to get where they are going and expect us to keep that data safe. Lyft's Privacy team is composed of engineers and analysts dedicated to ensuring appropriate data protections are applied to our drivers' and passengers' data. Our goal is to make privacy the default setting for our internal engineers and our customers. We help design architectures, build a scalable data platform, and define policies to reduce the exposure of user data and ensure appropriate privacy and security protections are applied across the company.

We are looking for a highly motivated, collaborative, team-focused and technically strong Software Engineer to join our Privacy team. As a member of this team, you will design and build systems that make privacy the default at Lyft. Every day, you'll partner with engineering, product, legal, and compliance stakeholders on high-impact projects — from building data redaction pipelines to enabling users to exercise their privacy rights to deploying data management systems across a diverse set of Lyft services. You'll bring strong engineering instincts, a passion for privacy, and the ability to lead large projects from idea to execution.

Responsibilities:

• Write well-crafted, well-tested, readable, and maintainable code

• Promote appropriate tech and engineering best practices

• Partner with teams across Lyft on organizational privacy initiatives

• Partner with senior engineers to design, build, and maintain systems that enhance privacy across the organization

• Independently l
