At Lyft, our mission is to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.

Airports and Venues is a unique vertically-integrated team focused on building the most loved and efficient transportation experience at critically important venues like airports, stadiums, and transit centers.

Airports are a strategically important business to Lyft, accounting for a significant portion of our revenue. At the same time they are some of the most challenging places to coordinate the Lyft experience. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that Lyft runs smoothly at these locations. We build features and tools to make the Lyft product experience resilient to road congestion, fluctuating supply and demand, regulatory requirements, and pathfinding through interior areas.

Responsibilities:
