Software Engineer, Infrastructure - San Francisco
San Francisco, CA

Job Description

At Lyft, community is what we are and it's what we do. It's what makes us different. To create the best ride for all, we start in our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization where all team members are recognized for what they bring.

Lyft's Infrastructure engineers are responsible for building the systems and tools that make our teams productive and the technology stack that powers the applications our customers use every day. We believe standing up a healthy service should be fast, standardized, and intuitive. We can run Lyft on our laptops on the first day. We can ship code to our customers continuously. We're empowered to use tools and technologies that provide the Lyft community with the best possible experience.

As an engineer on our team, there's no limit to the impact you can have on the business. All of our engineering teams are responsible for deploying and supporting their own services, and because of this they look to us for advice, guidance, and stability. We anticipate Lyft's driver, passenger, and engineering growth, and we build systems that support it. We invest heavily in infrastructure because we know that engineers are happiest when they're shipping code.

We believe in picking the right tools for the job, whether that means evaluating third party vendors or building something in house. We aren't dogmatic about technologies and we adapt our systems based on the needs of the organization. Currently you'll find us writing Python and Go, and integrating our services with a suite of Amazon Web Services, Jenkins, Salt, and Kubernetes just to name a few.

Responsibilities:

* Developing and maintaining the platform that runs all of Lyft's services
* Writing and maintaining cloud automation software and internal tools to support developers deploying, running and monitoring individual Lyft services
* Championing best practices for building scalable and reliable services
* Conducting root cause analysis on production issues with other engineers
* Responding to production incidents and determining how we can prevent them in the future
* Contributing your ideas on how we can continuously improve our systems and processes

Experience & Skills:

* Experience with UNIX systems administration including solid scripting skills in Shell, Python, or PHP
* Experience with systems programming in Go, C and/or C++
* Knowledge of configuration management systems such as Puppet, Chef, Salt, or Ansible
* Experience operating and managing Kubernetes at scale
* Experience building and running RESTful web services on cloud platforms
* Contributions to open source projects
* A passion for sustainability and/or transportation
