Engineering Manager

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 Help Access Experience team is seeking an engineering manager to help us scale and further improve customers' experience when they interact with Lyft support. We are a full stack team that builds and owns in-app help access products that deliver excellent customer care experiences to foster long-term loyalty. Our engineers are smart, passionate, and impact driven. They look to their managers for organizational transparency, career development, mentorship, and honest feedback. They move fast with high quality, relying on their leadership to increase productivity by removing obstacles and keeping processes lean. We look for engineering managers who are passionate about improving people’s lives and have solid technical backgrounds and interests -- some are involved in the technical details of their team and others provide general technical direction and oversight. As a manager, you will keep the team efficient and executing on the right goals. We build teams that are inclusive, helpful, and have a strong sense of ownership for the things they build.
