Engineering Manager, Transit, Bikes and Scooters

Job title: Engineering Manager, Transit, Bikes and Scooters

Job description: 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.

Started as a donation-based ridesharing network in San Francisco, Lyft today provides millions of rides every day in more than 200 cities. We’re moving to a world where on-demand transportation is a viable alternative to vehicle ownership and we need people with vision and insight to help get us there. Our team has a history of enabling rich and creative features that set the standard for the ride/bike/scooter-sharing industry. We constantly innovate and incorporate cutting edge technologies to make the lives of our communities better.

Our Montreal office developed the first automated bike-share system in America, a system that has since been deployed in multiple cities around the world (London, Montreal, New-York, San-Francisco to name a few). These are also some of the biggest bike-share systems in the world!

Lyft’s Transit, Bikes & Scooters (TBS) engineering team in Montreal is growing rapidly, and we are looking for engineering managers to help us scale. Our engineers are smart, flexible, and love solving difficult challenges. They look to their managers for organizational transparency, career development, mentorship, and honest feedback. They move fast and ship code to production continuously, relying on their leadership to increase productivity by removing obstacles and keeping processes lean. Our engineering managers are people with varying technical backgrounds and interests — some are involved in the technical details of their team and others provide general technical direction and oversight. As managers, our job is to keep teams efficient and executing on the right goals. We build teams that are inclusive, helpful, and have a strong sense of ownership for the things they build.

Interviews and interactions with the other offices in the company will be in English; however, the working environment in Montreal is bilingual.

Responsibilities:

• Lead a team of talented engineers who like to ship code and tackle hard engineering problems
• Mentor and guide the professional and technical development of your team members. Help develop their careers, and assign them to projects tailored to their skill levels, personalities, work styles, and professional goals
• Build teams that are collaborative, inclusive, and respectful of each other
• Provide continuous feedback, address underperformance, and recognize the individual strengths and contributions of your team members.
• Create plans for prioritizing technical and resourcing challenges in your organization
• Maintain a balance between building sustainable, high-impact projects and shipping things quickly
• Instill a spirit of continuous improvement in the team’s code, architecture, and processes
• Work closely with the Lyft recruiting team to hire high potential candidates from diverse backgrounds
• Work with your engineers and product managers to maintain a prioritized backlog and create short term and long term goals
• Own your team’s deliverables and ensure we continue to ship scalable, highly-available products that delight our passengers and drivers

Experience:

• You are fluent in english and french, written and spoken
• You have a technical background and are able to contribute to planning and design discussions
• You are steadfastly focused on your customers, whether they are riders, operators, cities or other Lyft employees
• You have experience leading a team of engineers and guiding them through their career development
• You believe in building both teams and products that scale
• You enjoy working in a collaborative environment, and you’re committed to driving projects to completion creatively
• You can motivate and instill a strong sense of ownership in your team
• You have experience guiding teams through planning, prioritization, and execution of work
• You think ahead and build for the future

Benefits:

• Great health, dental and vision insurance options, family plans
• Life insurance and disability benefits
• Mental health benefits
• A Healthcare Spending Account
• Free lunch, coffee, and tea when working in one of our offices
• In addition to company-observed holidays (12 in 2021), team members get 15 days paid time off, with an additional day for each year of service
• 4 floating days off per year
• 10 paid sick days per year
• 18 weeks of fully paid parental leave. Biological, adoptive, and foster parents are all eligible
