Engineering Manager – Data Platform, Lakehouse Foundation

At Lyft, a Most Loved Workplace® certified employer in the Transportation space, Connecting cities, one ride at a time, for a more equitable future..

<p>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.</p>

<p>As the Engineering Manager for the Lakehouse Foundation team, you will lead a group of engineers responsible for the foundational data layer that all of Lyft's data systems and emerging AI workloads are built on. The team owns catalog and metadata management, table formats and storage, and the access patterns and gateways through which other engineering teams interact with Lyft's data. As Lyft converges on a unified lakehouse architecture, this team builds and operates the single source of truth that powers analytics, machine learning, experimentation, and every business decision made from data. You will play a key role in shaping the team's technical direction, partnering with peer Data Platform teams on a multi-year platform evolution, and developing engineers who operate with autonomy on systems of significant scale and complexity.</p>

<p>Lyft's Infrastructure teams build the foundational systems that the rest of engineering depends on to move fast, ship reliably, and scale efficiently. These are high-leverage roles where the work you and your team do has a multiplicative effect across Lyft. We're looking for experienced leaders who can balance the discipline of operating critical infrastructure with the curiosity to keep evolving how Lyft builds.</p>

<p>Engineering at Lyft is a place where managers and engineers operate with high ownership and strong technical judgment. Our engineers expect their managers to be honest, available, and focused on the work that matters: developing their teams, removing obstacles, and giving people the support they need to do their best work. We build teams that are inclusive, technically rigorous, and have a strong sense of ownership for what they build.</p>
