The security team designs and builds Lyft's security architecture, consults with other teams as they build and launch new products and features, proactively plans for the unexpected, and responds to incidents that occur. We try to approach security from a software engineering standpoint. We believe in scaling security through automation and tooling and we ship frequently.
