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.
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 the
company. We're looking for experienced leaders who can balance the discipline of operating critical infrastructure with the
curiosity to keep evolving how Lyft builds.
