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.
Our mission depends on having a digital representation of the physical world - a map with all routing related (real-time) information. This is what makes Lyft different from many products: our products don't just facilitate online interactions, they facilitate dynamic, real-world ones. Without mapping services, none of these real world interactions between people and transport can happen.
The Mapping organization at Lyft has spent the last few years building up Lyft's mapping assets and capabilities by combining many internal and external data sources and services into an increasingly powerful and mission-critical technology stack. In doing so, we've also enabled new user experiences and features across all of Lyft's products, including rideshare industry leading firsts like CarPlay, Android Auto, and real-time driver feedback!
We are hiring a Frontend Software Engineer to join our Mapping experiences team that next generation tooling. This role is ideal for someone who cares deeply about frontend architecture, user experience, and developer ergonomics, while still enjoying full-stack ownership and system-level thinking.
In this role, you'll collaborate with engineering, product, data science, analytics, and operations on programs that empower us to iterate quickly, delighting our passengers and drivers with rideshare focused mapping experiences.
Responsibilities:
Lead the design and development of modern, high-quality frontend experiences for advertiser-facing and internal tools, with a strong focus on usability, performance, accessibility, and maintainability
Own full-stack features end-to-end, collaborating closely with product managers, designers, and data partners to translate complex requirements into intuitive workflows
Set frontend engineering standards and architecture, influencing patterns, tooling, testing strategy, and long-term technical direction across the team
Mentor and support mid-level and junior engineers, providing thoughtful code reviews, technical guidance, and career growth support
Drive operational excellence, helping automate workflows, reduce manual effort, and improve the reliability and scalability of campaign management systems
Experience:
BSc/MSc in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
5+ years of industry experience in frontend or full-stack engineering roles, with a demonstrated emphasis on frontend development.
Proven experience building modern, production-grade frontend applications, ideally using React, TypeScript, Next.js, or similar frameworks.
Strong command of frontend fundamentals: JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS, accessibility (a11y), performance optimization, and component architecture.
Experience designing and consuming APIs (REST, GraphQL) and collaborating closely with backend services.
Comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment, balancing technical excellence with delivery.
Experience building or contributing to cloud-based systems (AWS) and collaborating within CI/CD and DevOps-enabled teams.
Familiarity with distributed systems concepts, microservices, and data stores (SQL/NoSQL); hands-on backend expertise is a plus.
Preferred: Working knowledge of AI/ML/GenAI technologies and technique and apply them.
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 to help save for your future
