Security Engineer, Detection

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.

Lyft Security builds systems to protect and defend infrastructure. We consult with teams as they build and launch new products and features, proactively plans for the unexpected, and responds to incidents that occur. Our work has company wide impact and takes place at all levels of the stack, from infrastructure to web application security, as well as mobile apps, IT, bikes, scooters, and autonomous vehicles. We believe in scaling security through engineering fundamentals, automation, and tooling. Check out our blog posts at https://eng.lyft.com/tagged/security to learn more about some of the things we’ve built.
