Software Engineer, Rider Quality

Lyft • Toronto, ON

5d • $108,000 - $135,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

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 Rider Quality team is a critical starting point for this mission - but we're not doing traditional QA. We’re building the future of quality engineering. This is an opportunity to step into a mid-level role where you’ll do more than write code - you’ll help build and evolve systems that improve how engineers deliver products faster, happier, and with fewer bugs. We are shifting away from manual processes and legacy automation frameworks, and investing in Artificial Intelligence and agentic approaches to drive a "shift left" across the organization. Success in this role is measured by tangible impact, including improvements in developer experience, engineering efficiency, and reductions in production issues.

Requirements

• Strong problem-solving skills and a desire to improve systems through automation.
• Good communication and collaboration skills.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Support accessibility testing and monitoring efforts across the development lifecycle.
