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.
The Marketplace team at Lyft is responsible for accelerating the growth of the business while simultaneously delivering on key business and financial metrics, and Dynamic Pricing & Offer Selection is an integral part of that. Our team is the dynamic pricing team responsible for leveraging both real-time and historical data to set prices for every single ride at Lyft while balancing prices and ETAs to better serve our riders’ needs.
We are looking for fast learning, data-driven individuals who are passionate about tackling these open-ended problems in pricing theory and making a large, positive impact in the business. In this role, you will work closely with Product and Engineering on a cross-functional team to prototype and build end-to-end dynamic pricing models that can operate at scale. In addition, you will be expected to leverage your domain knowledge and influence existing and future roadmaps to help Lyft continue to deliver a better experience for riders and drivers.
