Role description
This is a core backend software engineering role (70% SWE / 30% Data) within our Mapping organization. You will focus primarily on building high-throughput services, distributed system architecture, and APIs, while leveraging large-scale spatial data to power Lyft's routing and mapping products. Note: This position focuses on backend service architecture and platform scalability rather than traditional ETL, BI, or data modeling pipelines. 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.…
