At Lyft, 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.

　　Lyft connects people to transportation to change the way we live and get around our communities. Lyft’s engineering team is growing rapidly, and we are looking for Security Engineers to help us scale. Come be part of a new team at Lyft focused on enabling and empowering engineering teams to deliver at scale.

　　Our drivers and passengers entrust Lyft with their personal information and travel details to get where they're going and expect us to keep that data safe. Lyft's security team leads efforts across the company to ensure our systems are secure and worthy of our users' trust.

　　Lyft Security builds systems to protect and defend infrastructure and services from cyber attacks. We consult with teams as they build and launch new products and features, proactively plans for the unexpected, and responds to incidents that occur. Our work has company wide impact and takes place at all levels of the stack, from infrastructure to web application security, as well as mobile apps, IT, bikes, scooters, etc. We believe in scaling security through engineering fundamentals, automation, and tooling. Check out our blog posts at https://eng.lyft.com/tagged/security to learn more about some of the things we’ve built.
