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. Data Science is at the heart of Lyft’s products and decision-making. We are hiring a Staff Data Scientist to join the Base Earnings team. This cross-functional team is responsible for setting pay for every Lyft rideshare ride, as well as ensuring compliance with our regulatory and policy commitments regarding pay. We seek a passionate data scientist to drive business performance and driver satisfaction, and to develop new pay policies in support of new business areas (e.g., autonomous vehicles, European expansion). In this role, you will leverage data, machine learning, optimization, experimentation, and inference techniques to develop and maintain Lyft’s pay policies. Your technical impact will contribute directly to company-level metrics, including profit, rides completed, and driver sentiment. Leveraging your knowledge and experience, you will influence the technical growth of the cross-functional Base Earnings team - both as individuals and as a team.
