Software Engineer, Planned Pricing

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.

Marketplace teams sit at the core of Lyft's products and decision-making, owning everything from rider pricing to driver earnings, incentives, and matching efficiency. We're looking for passionate, driven engineers who want to build systems that give riders and drivers the best possible transportation experience through prediction, adaptivity, and personalization — and who thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact environment solving distributed computing, ML, and data challenges.

The Planned Pricing team sits within Lyft's Marketplace org and is responsible for forecasting, planning, and setting prices ahead of demand — ensuring pricing strategy is proactive rather than purely reactive. We partner closely with Product & Science to design and implement pricing strategies that anticipate market conditions, balancing the needs of riders, drivers, and business goals. As an owner of a flow that shapes forecasting and long-term pricing decisions across the company, you'll tackle a wide range of problems — from large-scale distributed systems and data pipelines to experimentation and forecasting accuracy. If you're excited about playing a key role in demand/supply planning and improving the Lyft experience for millions of riders and drivers, this could be a great fit.
