The Associate Tools team's mission is to deliver best-in-class tools to enable our customer support associates to accurately and efficiently provide help for our drivers and riders. You'll work alongside our support associates and play a key role in building trust, empathy, and communication between engineering and support. You’ll design and build new tools to improve the support workflow, collaborate with associates to optimize our current tools for high-impact use cases, and assist in triaging and fixing critical production bugs.

Frontend Engineers at Lyft build and own innovative web applications using advanced JavaScript, CSS, and HTML, with a desire to achieve exceptional design fidelity, usability, accessibility, and performance across both desktop and mobile browsers.

Projects will require close collaboration with other teams and orgs, working closely with product managers and designers, other engineers and stakeholders.
