Job details

Experience: 3–5 years of software engineering experience with a history of shipping backend features in production environments
Posting language: English
Posted: Sep 23, 2026

Original job description

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.

The Driver team is dedicated to fostering a platform of high-quality service by empowering drivers to perform their best.

We are looking for a product-minded engineer who wants to build and improve products that sit at the center of the core driver experience. Products you drive will solve pain points that matter most to drivers by streamlining key interactions, reducing friction, and creating systems that feel intuitive, fair, and supportive.

As an engineer at Lyft, you'll collaborate with teams like product, data science, analytics, and operations on code that empower us to iterate quickly, while focusing on delighting our passengers and drivers.

Responsibilities:

Design and implement backend features end-to-end with clear ownership, delivering well-scoped work from technical design through to production with moderate guidance from senior engineers
Write clean, reliable, well-tested code that meets team standards and holds up in code review
Participate actively in code reviews, giving specific and constructive feedback while continuing to develop your own review instincts
Debug and resolve issues across backend services including performance bottlenecks, reliability problems, and data integrity issues
Collaborate with product managers, designers, and partner engineering teams to clarify requirements and surface technical constraints early
Contribute to technical discussions and help evaluate implementation approaches for new features
Write unit and integration tests for your own code and develop familiarity with the team's broader testing and observability practices
Address technical debt and make incremental improvements to existing services as part of regular development work
Participate in on-call rotations, respond to production incidents, and support teammates in mitigating customer-impacting events
Communicate progress, blockers, and tradeoffs clearly within the team

Experience:

3–5 years of software engineering experience with a history of shipping backend features in production environments
Strong proficiency in one or more backend languages (Go, Python, Java, or similar) with a solid understanding of performance and reliability fundamentals
Solid working knowledge of distributed systems concepts - microservices, REST and/or gRPC APIs, message queues, and async processing patterns
Familiarity with relational and NoSQL databases, including data modeling, querying, and basic indexing and performance considerations
Experience with observability tooling - logging, metrics, and alerting - and a developing instinct for how to make systems debuggable in production
Comfortable working with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or similar) at a feature level, with a growing understanding of how services are deployed and operated
Experience writing and maintaining unit and integration tests with a focus on reliability and regression prevention
Familiarity with Git workflows, code review processes, and CI/CD pipelines
Ability to scope and break down moderately complex tasks independently
Good communication skills and a collaborative approach to problem-solving

Benefits:

Extended health and dental coverage options, along with life insurance and disability benefits
Mental health benefits
Family building benefits
Child care and pet benefits
Access to a Lyft funded Health Care Savings Account
RRSP plan with company match to help save for your future
In addition to provincial observed holidays, salaried team members are covered under Lyft's flexible paid time off policy. The policy allows team members to take off as much time as they need (with manager approval). Hourly team members get 15 days paid time off, with an additional day for each year of service
Lyft is proud to support new parents with 18 weeks of paid time off, designed as a top-up plan to complement provincial programs. Biological, adoptive, and foster parents are all eligible.
Subsidized commuter benefits and Lyft ride credits

Lyft also strives for a healthy and safe workplace and strictly prohibits harassment of any kind. Accommodation for persons with disabilities will be provided upon request in accordance with applicable law during the application and hiring process. Please contact your recruiter if you wish to make such a request.

Lyft highly values having employees working in-office to foster a collaborative work environment and company culture. This role will be in-office on a hybrid schedule - Team Members will be expected to work in the office at least 3 days per week, including on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Lyft considers working in the office at least 3 days per week to be an essential function of this hybrid role. Your recruiter can share more information about the various in-office perks Lyft offers. Additionally, hybrid roles have the flexibility to work from anywhere for up to 4 weeks per year. #Hybrid

Salary ranges are dependent on a variety of factors, including qualifications, experience and geographic location. Your recruiter can share more information about the salary range specific to your working location and other factors during the hiring process.
