At Lyft, our mission is to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.

The Product Management team works closely with our engineers to guide products from conception to launch, and with our business partners to generate profitable revenue streams. You will be responsible for bringing exceptional strategic and analytical skills to define our strategy and lead our execution in this highly cross-functional technological area. Through your leadership, you’ll bridge technical, business, and operations worlds as you design technologies with creative and prolific engineers, leverage your technical expertise to identify setbacks and roadblocks within a project and generate solutions for resolving them quickly. You will have a bias for action to break down complex problems into steps that drive product development at Lyft speed.

Lyft’s Mapping organization has built a one-of-a-kind rideshare-centric mapping product that supports every aspect of the user’s ride experience: from searching for the destination to navigating to the drop-off point. Within the Mapping group, we have various teams: ETA, Routes, MapData, PlacesData, Tooling Platform, and Lyft Maps Experiences. Lyft ETAs are central to the Lyft marketplace and impact how riders and drivers experience Lyft in many ways: estimating ETAs, the cost of fulfillment, optimizing driver-rider matches, rider offer and driver pay. The ETA and Routes team is responsible for providing accurate ETAs to a variety of customers to balance drivers’ expectations, riders’ expectations and Lyft’s objectives.
