Senior Frontend Infra Engineer

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 Control Systems team envisions a future where engineers seamlessly command their production workloads with ease and clarity. We aspire to be the definitive interface for all production infrastructure interactions, transforming complexity into intuitive control and empowering Lyft Engineering to scale, operate and react in an emergency with confidence and efficiency.

As a Software Engineer on the Control Systems team, you will lead a talented group of engineers responsible for the production infrastructure tooling experience, and continuously develop and maintain the interfaces that enable our customers to manage their services and entities in production. You will play a key role in shaping the team’s vision as well as executing on the strategy and delivering impactful solutions.

Lyft Infrastructure

We count on the reliability of our infrastructure to empower Lyft teams to provide rich experiences for our customers that are reliable and available in order to ensure our transportation platform connects people and places. Our engineers are smart, flexible, and love solving difficult challenges. They look to their managers for organizational transparency, career development, mentorship, and honest feedback. They move fast and ship code to production continuously, relying on their leadership to increase productivity by removing obstacles and keeping processes lean.

We build teams that are inclusive, helpful, and have a strong sense of ownership for the things they build.

Lyft’s Infrastructure teams are responsible for building the foundational systems that engineers rely on in order to build stable, scalable, and efficient services. We build scalable infrastructure that helps software developers move fast, while still providing them with the flexibility they need to innovate within their teams. We are looking for experienced leaders to guide these teams as they create an exceptional development experience for all of Lyft.
