At Lyft, the community is what they are and it’s what they do. It’s what makes them different. To create the best ride for all, they start in their own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization where all team members are recognized for what they bring.
Lyft’s Research Science Team builds mathematical models underpinning the platform’s core services. Compared to other technology companies of a similar size, the set of problems that they tackle is incredibly diverse. They cut across optimization, prediction, modeling, inference, transportation, and mapping. They are hiring motivated experts in each of these fields. They’re looking for someone who is passionate about solving mathematical problems with data, and are excited about working in a fast-paced, innovative and collegial environment.
