Staff Software Engineer, Lyft Business

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 Lyft Business organization builds the platform that lets organizations move the people they depend on employees, clients, and customers. From the foundational mechanics of a company funding and provisioning a ride to the tailored workflows that get an employee to a client meeting or home after a late shift, we sweat the small stuff to make Lyft the transportation solution businesses build their programs on.

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Lyft Business Team, you will act as a critical technical leader, taking holistic ownership of complex systems that span the rider experience, the administrator experience, and the enterprise integrations behind them — defining strategic roadmaps, driving cross-functional alignment, and driving engineering excellence to improve how organizations move their people.

Responsibilities:

• Shape the long-term architecture for systems, taking accountability for both short-term functionality and long-term health

• Translate high-level business goals into actionable engineering projects. Own the technical roadmap from conception to delivery, managing cross-team dependencies and mitigating risks

• Champion improvements in system, observability, performance, and tech debt reduction, extending your influence beyond your immediate team

• Establish best practices for deployment, alerting, and on-call health. Take holistic ownership of the platform's stability, tracking down issues root causes and building preventive safeguards for your immediate scope and beyond.

• Drive alignment across product, design, and operations. Proactively resolve bottlenecks and make decisive trade-offs to protect system architecture from competing organizational priorities

• Mentor and level up the engineers around you
