The Mapping team at Lyft is pivotal in developing a cutting-edge global mapping platform that drives unique rideshare experiences—enabling riders to receive precise pricing and ETAs while guiding drivers safely and efficiently from pick-up to drop-off. This role centers on the essential real-time mapping services that enhance navigation: Routing, Traffic, and Closures. Our goal is to create an accurate digital model of the real world and to optimize routing based on this model. We continuously strive for the 'perfect route,' leveraging static and dynamic data to ensure drivers reach their destinations safely and punctually. Our global Routing engine balances a multitude of factors including historical driver behavior, route safety, toll costs, and real-time road conditions. You will collaborate with a talented team of engineers, machine learning experts, and data scientists to develop the optimal routing engine that supports millions of rides daily on the Lyft platform.
