Senior Software Engineer, Pricing

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.

Marketplace teams are at the heart of our products and decision-making, owning everything from rider pricing to driver earnings, incentives, and efficient matching. We’re looking for passionate, driven engineers to build systems that empower our riders and drivers to have the best transportation experience possible through prediction, adaptivity, and personalization. We’re looking for someone who is excited about working in a fast-paced, innovative, and impactful environment to create reliable solutions to distributed computing, ML, and data problems.

The Pricing team is a centerpiece of Lyft’s Marketplace org, determining prices for all rideshare products and supporting new initiatives. We work with Product & Science to solve and implement complex pricing requirements, balancing the needs of riders, drivers, and the business goals. As an owner of one of the most critical flows in the company, you will work on a wide array of challenges such as latency-sensitive concurrency problems, large scale distributed systems, and experimentation. If you’re interested in playing a large part in demand / supply management and improving the Lyft customer experience, this could be a great fit for you.
