Staff Software Engineer, 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.Our mission depends on having a digital representation of the physical world - a map with all routing related (real-time) information. This is what makes Lyft different from many products: our products don't just facilitate online interactions, they facilitate dynamic, real-world ones. Without mapping services, none of these real world interactions between people and transport can happen.The Mapping organization at Lyft has spent the last few years building up Lyft's mapping assets and capabilities by combining many internal and external data sources and services into an increasingly powerful and mission‐critical technology stack. In doing so, we've also enabled new user experiences and features across all of Lyft's products, including rideshare industry‐leading firsts like CarPlay, Android Auto, and real‐time driver feedback!ResponsibilitiesSet the technical vision and strategy for a rapidly evolving product areaCo‐own the product strategy with the product partner and ensure a timely delivery with high quality of the engineering solutionsLead a team of talented engineers who like to ship code and tackle hard engineering problemsMentor and guide the professional and technical development of your team members.
