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.
Lyft connects people to transportation to change the way we live and get around our communities. Lyft’s engineering team is growing rapidly, and we are looking for Technical Program Managers to help us scale. Come be part of a new team at Lyft focused on enabling and empowering engineering teams to deliver at scale.
Our drivers and passengers entrust Lyft with their personal information and travel details to get where they're going and expect us to keep that data safe. Lyft's security team leads efforts across the company to ensure our systems are secure and worthy of our users' trust.
The security team designs and builds Lyft's security architecture, consult with other teams as they build and launch new products and features, proactively plans for the unexpected, and responds to incidents that occur. Our work affects the entire company and takes place at all levels of the stack, from infrastructure to web application security, as well as mobile apps, IT, and autonomous vehicles. We try to approach security from a software engineering standpoint. We believe in scaling security through automation and tooling and we ship frequently. Check out our blog posts athttps://eng.lyft.com/tagged/security to learn more about some of the things we’ve built.
We’re looking for the right person to join our team to perform service and application security review, and move us along our maturity journey. In order to be scalable, each secure product quality gate must be automated and integrated into our software release pipeline. Our grand vision is a fully automated series of quality controls that constantly validate that our code is secure. In short, we’re building a robot army that constantly validates our current security status. Don’t you want to live in this beautiful world?
Responsibilities:
- Architect and build services that improve the security of our systems with an eye towards scalability and avoiding unnecessary friction
- Partner with IT and infrastructure teams to design, build, and maintain performant authentication and authorization systems that balance security with user experience
- Own the security posture of identity infrastructure, including SSO implementations, MFA strategies, access provisioning workflows, and identity lifecycle management
- Share knowledge by giving brown bags, tech talks, and evangelizing appropriate tech and engineering best practices
- Collaborate with teams across Lyft to ensure security best practices are leveraged as we roll out new features and expand our service offerings
- Conduct penetration testing, code review and breach readiness across our online and mobile infrastructure
- Proactively research new attack vectors that may affect Lyft
- Research and implement automated code security quality gates
- Build and maintain relationships with key partners both internally and externally
