Engineering Manager, Developer Workflows

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.

As the Engineering Manager for the Developer Workflows team, you will lead a talented group of engineers responsible for building and maintaining critical infrastructure that enhances developer productivity and partner closely with AI infrastructure teams to leverage and collaborate on their foundational solutions to provide first‑class AI solutions that streamline workflows and keep the codebase healthy. The team owns critical CI systems used by all of Lyft engineering as well as core AI applications.

You will play a key role in shaping the team’s vision, supporting their growth, and delivering impactful solutions.

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.

Our engineering managers are people with diverse technical backgrounds and interests. As managers it is our job to remain curious and continuously deliver impact by driving our team’s technical direction and vision. 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.
