Job Description
Job description
At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.
We are seeking a passionate and skilled Android Engineer to join our Telematics & Road Safety teams. Our teams are dedicated to enhancing safety and affordability for Lyft users by leveraging telematics data to reduce accident risks. As an Android Engineer, you will work on building and maintaining features on the telematics platform, as well as building products that directly contribute to the safety and efficiency of our services.
We build apps used by millions of people, and we take great pride in our work. This means excellent development practices, careful code architecture, and an organization built around rapid releases. Within the teams, backlog grooming, planning meetings, daily stand-ups, demos and retrospectives keep us agile, and accountable. Continuous integration with automated testing allows us to run a bi-weekly release train. Our beta release process gives us useful insight into user behavior and heavy use of analytics, A/B testing and feature flagging allows for rapid iteration. With a focus on delightful user experiences, we balance building new features, refactoring code, and tweaking existing features based on analytics data. Every line of code gets reviewed by other developers, every pixel inspected by designers, and every feature hammered on by manual and automated QA.
