About the role
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.
The Rider Memberships team is where riders become members. We build the membership, rewards, and benefits products that give people a reason to choose Lyft on every trip, and we make sure the value a rider has earned shows up at the moment it matters.
In this role, you will lead an engineering team in close partnership with Product, Design, Data Science, and Partnerships to drive membership retention and continuously innovate on our membership products so riders accrue more value by sticking with Lyft. Additionally, you will lead mobile engineering across our Membership, Partnerships, and Wallet product areas, collaborating closely with fellow Engineering Managers and cross-functional peers to deliver success across our products.

- Oversee mobile engineering across the Membership, Partnerships, and Wallet product areas to ensure cohesive execution and high-quality delivery.
- Build and scale the systems behind membership, rewards earning and redemption, and benefit delivery.
- Hold a high technical bar through architecture reviews, tech debt management, observability, reliability, and on-call.
- Grow engineers by matching people to the right opportunities, setting clear expectations, and giving feedback early.
Experience
- 5+ years building software professionally, including 2+ years directly managing engineers.
- You have managed a team that shipped both mobile and backend work, and you can still read and review code in at least one of those areas.
- You have owned a consumer product used by millions of people each month.
- You use AI tools in your own work and have a clear view of where they help and where they do not.
