At Lyft, the community is what we are and it’s what we do. It’s what makes us different. To create the best ride for all, we start in our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization where all team members are recognized for what they bring.

Lyft’s engineering team is growing, and we are looking for Engineering Managers to help us scale. Our engineers are curious and love solving difficult challenges. They look to their managers for transparency, career development, mentorship, and honest feedback. They move fast and ship code to production, relying on their leadership to increase productivity by removing obstacles and keeping processes lean. Our Engineering Managers are people with varying technical backgrounds and interests -- some are involved in the technical details of their team and others provide general technical direction and oversight. As managers, our job is to keep teams agile and building on the right goals. We build teams that are inclusive, helpful, and have a sense of ownership for the things they build.

Lyft’s production tooling team manages the set of tools needed to support engineers operating production systems at Lyft. We oversee tooling around large-scale events, running post mortem's, paging and on call, communication for production incidents and change management. We build and adopt tooling for all of these areas while also minimizing our reliance on third-party tooling for more important engineering functions. This is a visible role that impacts all of Lyft and is essential for us to grow and scale as an engineering organization.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead a team of accomplished engineers who like to ship code and tackle hard engineering problems.
  • Work across engineering to build relationships with other teams. Use their feedback and understand their goals to build a roadmap for your team
  • With the help of your team members, educate engineering on best practices for building stable and well-monitored apps
  • Encourage and enforce the right behaviors to ensure we continue to ship quickly without compromising production stability
  • Mentor and guide the development of your team members; help develop their careers and assign them to projects tailored to their skill levels, personalities, work styles, and goals
  • Build teams that are collaborative, inclusive, and respectful of each other
  • Provide continuous feedback, address underperformance, and recognize the strengths and contributions of your team members
  • Create plans for prioritizing technical and resourcing challenges in your organization
  • Maintain a balance between building sustainable, compelling projects, and shipping things quickly
  • Instill a spirit of improvement in the teams’ code, architecture, and processes
  • Collaborate with the Lyft recruiting team to hire potential candidates from diverse backgrounds
  • Build your team’s deliverables and ensure we continue to ship scalable products that delight our passengers and drivers

Experience:

  • You have a technical background and can add to planning and technical design discussions
  • You have experience leading engineers at all levels, and can guide them through their career development
  • You are steadfastly focused on your customers, and preferably have experience partnering with engineers as customers
  • You have an eye for metrics and know how to measure the health of engineering teams
  • You believe in building both teams and products that scale
  • You enjoy working in a collaborative environment, and you’re committed to driving projects to completion creatively
  • You can motivate and instill a keen sense of ownership in your team
  • You have experience guiding teams through planning, prioritization, and development of work
  • You think ahead and build for the future

Benefits:

  • Great medical, dental, and vision insurance options
  • In addition to 11 observed holidays, salaried team members have unlimited paid time off, hourly team members have 15 days paid time off
  • 401(k) plan to help save for your future
  • 18 weeks of paid parental leave. Biological, adoptive, and foster parents are all eligible
  • Monthly commuter subsidy to cover your transit to work
  • 20% off all Lyft rides
