At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. To accomplish this, we start with our community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization. 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 built industry leading geospatial visualisation and debugging platform.

We are hiring an Engineering Manager to lead our Mapping XP Services team. This role will accelerate Mapping through an AI-powered transformation to drive the strategy and execution for building AI agents to extract valuable insights from the realtime data. Mapping AI agents and our agentic-first platform will be used to automate map improvements, debug complex in-ride issues, identify ride anomalies and potential root causes, interpret freeform feedback from drivers and riders, and eventually scale beyond Mapping to draw insights across Lyft teams.

In this role, you'll collaborate with engineering, product, data science, analytics, and operations on programs that empower us to iterate quickly, delighting our passengers and drivers with rideshare focused mapping experiences.
