- Work at systems level: Build reusable design-system components and tools that improve the overall platform.
- Maintain quality: Benchmark Lyft’s map experiences against leading products to ensure high standards.
- Support implementation: Work closely with engineering and content design to ensure the final product matches the design intent.
Requirements
- 5+ years of product design experience with a portfolio showing end-to-end ownership of complex mobile experiences.
- Experience designing maps, navigation, or location-based products.
- Strong skills in interaction and visual design, including high-fidelity prototyping.
- Experience with AI-native prototyping and tooling.
- Ability to apply UX standards related to accessibility, safety, and usability.
- Strong communication skills for explaining complex design decisions to stakeholders.

- Work Schedule: Hybrid role requiring in-office presence 3 days per week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays).
