At Lyft, community is what we are and it’s what we do. It’s what makes us different. To create the best ride for all, we start in our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization where all team members are recognized for what they bring.
The Data Infrastructure team is responsible for building a massive-scale data ingestion and processing platform. Each Autonomous Vehicle (AV) is equipped with dozens of sensors (Lidars, Radars, HD cameras, etc.). Single AV produces data at rate that is comparable to all of Twitter users combined; the platforms we build need to be able to process Petabytes of Autonomous-Vehicle data daily.
