Software Engineer, Fulfillment Core Services

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.

Core Services powers the passenger and driver state machines from request and accept through drop-off and payment completion. The team enables a multitude of ride variations like autonomous vehicles, taxis, scheduled, business concierge, health and more. The “Core Services” are a suite of distributed Python and Golang systems central to Lyft’s backend.

As a software engineer on the team, you will work on integrating new rider and driver products and features onto the state machine and enhancing the performance and reliability of ride state transitions. If you are excited about solving back-end distributed systems problems and owning a mission-critical part of Lyft’s operations, this team is for you.

As a software engineer at Lyft, you will collaborate with other engineers and cross-functional teams, such as product, data science, and analytics, to lead and execute large projects—from concept to efficient execution. We are looking for a motivated Software Engineer who is passionate about solving challenging technical problems and excited to work in a fast-paced, innovative, and cross-functional environment. In this role, you will tackle some of the most interesting and impactful problems in ridesharing.

Key traits for success include being passionate about Lyft’s business and product, a quick learner, a collaborative mindset, and an eagerness to drive initiatives both within and across teams. You'll be joining a small, close-knit team with passionate, collaborative co-workers.
