Business & Strategy (1)

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 Infrastructure builds the systems engineers depend on to ship stable, scalable, and efficient services. We're hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to run cross-functional programs across our infrastructure and data platform teams. This role blends program delivery with product sense: you'll own the roadmap for your area, set priorities, and act as the voice of the customer back into how we build.

Responsibilities

Run infrastructure programs end to end, from kickoff through delivery
Own the roadmap for your platform area: shape the strategy, sequence the work, and make the prioritization calls
Drive data platform migration and modernization work, coordinating across engineering, data, and platform teams to keep dependencies and timelines under control
Be the voice of the customer: partner with engineering teams across Lyft, surface their pain points, and feed that back into priorities and roadmaps
Define success metrics and adoption goals, gather and document customer requirements, and make sure what ships actually solves the problem
Build feedback loops with customer teams and turn what you hear into concrete improvements
Partner with engineering and infrastructure leads to build plans, call out risks early, and keep stakeholders aligned
Own program health: track milestones, surface blockers before they slip, and keep decision-makers in the loop
Use your technical background in distributed systems and data infrastructure to ask sharp questions and build plans the team believes in
Share in the team's release oncall rotation

Experience

5+ years in Technical Program Management or a TPM/PM hybrid role
A background in software, data, or systems engineering, enough to go deep with engineers
Experience owning a roadmap: setting strategy, prioritizing across competing demands, and defining what success looks like
Experience driving data platform or infrastructure migrations: data lakes, pipelines, warehouses, or compute platforms
Hands-on familiarity with Databricks, Hex, or similar data platform and BI tooling is a strong plus
A strong track record leading cross-functional programs with real dependencies and tight timelines, autonomously and with only high-level direction
Experience owning customer relationships across engineering teams, gathering requirements, and translating their needs into roadmaps and technical specs
Comfortable defining and tracking success metrics and adoption
Clear communicator across the stack, from engineer to VP
