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. Our mission depends on having a digital representation of the physical world - a map with all routing related (real-time) information.

This team has a history of enabling rich and creative features that directly influence the product for all of our users. We constantly innovate and incorporate cutting-edge technologies to make the lives of our community more enriched.
