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 are going and expect us to keep that data safe.

We conduct privacy risk assessments, consult with organizational stakeholders, maintain Lyft’s privacy program, develop privacy policies, and advise on all matters related to privacy.
