About the Company
- Lyft's 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!

- Lyft is committed to creating an inclusive workforce that fosters belonging.
- Lyft believes that every person has a right to equal employment opportunities without discrimination because of race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, family status, disability, pardoned record of offences, or any other basis protected by applicable law or by Company policy.
- Lyft also strives for a healthy and safe workplace and strictly prohibits harassment of any kind.
- Accommodation for persons with disabilities will be provided upon request in accordance with applicable law during the application and hiring process. Please contact your recruiter if you wish to make such a request.
