At Lyft, our mission is to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.

Frontend Engineers at Lyft build and own innovative web applications using advanced JavaScript, React and Sass, with a desire to achieve exceptional design fidelity, usability, accessibility, and performance across both desktop and mobile browsers.

Projects will require close collaboration with other teams and orgs, working closely with creative and product designers, other engineers and stakeholders. These projects may occur simultaneously, so you must be able to juggle multiple concurrent initiatives. We will also expect you to champion sound frontend standards to engineers, designers, and management.
