Lyft .
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 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. Product Management at Lyft leads the integration of engineering, data science, and design to achieve the company’s vision for reinventing transportation.
Lyft’s Mapping team builds and operates a global mapping platform that powers Rideshare-specific experiences – everything from offering Riders accurate pricing and ETAs to navigating Drivers safely and efficiently from pickup to dropoff. This role focuses on the critical Mapping realtime services that power the navigation experience: Routing, Traffic, and Closures. Our global Routing engine constantly balances dozens of factors including past driver behavior, safety and insurance risks of different routes, toll costs, driver and rider preferences, and any road hazards along the route such as traffic congestion and road closures. Our Traffic and Closures systems process telemetry from millions of rides daily, user-generated realtime reports from drivers, curated incidents and road closures from our in‑house team, and third‑party data to keep the Lyft Map as accurate as possible. You will work with a talented team of engineers, ML experts, and data scientists to build the perfect routing engine that powers pickups and dropoffs for millions of rides daily on the Lyft platform.
Responsibilities
Build deep customer empathy for the Rideshare experience of both riders and drivers through user research, data analysis, and real‑world usage of the Lyft platform.

Experience
4+ years of product management experience, ideally consumer‑facing.
Demonstrated experience using data‑driven insights and user research to build better products.
Have shipped products in deeply technical & analytical domains – able to use data and experimentation to guide a large cross‑functional team towards a long‑term vision.
Prior experience or training in technical roles (including data science or software development) is a strong plus.
Prior experience in mapping, routing, logistics, or gig economy industries is a strong plus.
Be detail‑oriented and able to dive deep into complex technical concepts, but also abstract them to executive stakeholders.
