Engineering Manager, Rider Loyalty

Description

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 Rider Loyalty team is where riders become members. We build the membership, rewards, and benefits products that give people a reason to choose Lyft on every trip, and we make sure the value a rider has earned shows up at the moment it matters. Loyalty sits inside the Rider Loyalty, Partnerships, and Rider Pay (PLP) group.

You will lead a team of engineers across iOS, Android, and Server. You will own the membership and rewards platform end to end and work daily with Product, Design, Data Science, and Partnerships.
