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.

At Lyft, we care deeply about delivering the best transportation experience for both drivers and passengers. The Networking team is responsible for all the network traffic to make the best ride possible, from our mobile app to our internal microservice architecture. This means providing the most reliable network seamlessly so that our engineers can build platforms that scale. This also means providing tooling to either make the network easy to understand or abstract the network completely.

You will help operate one of the largest Envoy-baed service meshes in the industry. Your job is to eliminate operational burdens through automation. Your job will be dynamic and different day-to-day.
