The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Own core experiences end to end. Lead design for Mapping's most important: user-facing surfaces, from problem definition through launch and iteration. Your primary areas, in order of focus: Core Navigation – turn-by-turn guidance, map zoom and motion details, and how drivers orient themselves with the road
Real-time Feedback and Voice AI: how drivers report what's happening on the road, including emerging voice and AI-assisted experiences
Map styling and 3D views: the visual language of the map itself, including 3D and map assets
Map Tooling: internal tools that help Lyft's mapping and operations teams keep the map accurate
Drive cross-organizational alignment. Proactively reach across organizational: boundaries to partner with cross-functional leaders, synthesize competing feedback, and build consensus around complex design decisions.
Work at the systems level. Build reusable design-system components, tooling,: and map assets that improve the platform as well as individual features, so every surface built on the map gets better.
What they're looking for
- Hold a high quality bar. Benchmark Lyft's map and navigation experiences: against the leading map products, and use that bar to raise the quality of what we ship.
- Support accurate implementation. Partner closely with engineering and content: design through build, edge cases, and launch, so what ships matches what was designed.
- Lead through ambiguity. Take complex, loosely defined problems, work with: product and engineering leads to frame them, and drive alignment across teams with competing priorities.
- Raise the work (and work-ers) around you. Give critique that improves others': work, communicate complex design decisions clearly to broad audiences, including leadership, and help shape how the team works.
