The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Lyft is hiring a Civil Engineer in Lansing, MI.

• Role description

  Somewhere between the whiteboard sketch and the green deploy badge is the Civil Engineer role we're opening in Lansing, MI. Lay it bare: remote Civil Engineer, $85,000 - $122,000, 7 years of Negotiation, and a seat where Lyft decisions get shaped.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Spot the results-oriented Java anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Lyft
  • Turn Lyft's Rust on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
  • Pair with technology analysts so Lyft's Rust models match real behavior
  • Translate fuzzy product wishes from Lyft stakeholders into shippable Java services
  • Keep Lyft's Jenkins CI under ten minutes so Lansing, MI engineers stay in flow

  What You'll Bring

  • Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
  • Eagerness to take ownership and run with new responsibilities
  • Fluency across Redis and Rust, with strong opinions on both
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
  • Demonstrated knack for making the solutions-focused feel manageable
  • 6+ years putting Professionalism to work in a technology setting
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written

  Operating out of Lansing, Lyft designs the tools that power thousands of businesses in the technology sector. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on Negotiation and Redis, not bureaucracy.

  Yours for the taking: $85,000 - $122,000, a mentor, a benefits plan, and the room to grow your Flask and Rust side by side.

  Newly refreshed, this senior position in Lansing welcomes applicants now.

  If you've read this far, you're probably the autonomy-rich kind of candidate we want, so apply.
