Our offerings include Business Travel, Lyft Pass, and Concierge (for healthcare and non-healthcare rides), enabling companies to manage transportation at scale through APIs, integrations (e.g., Concur, Expensify), and dedicated tools. These platforms power high-impact B2B use cases across corporate travel, healthcare access, customer experience, and community programs.

We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to lead technical initiatives across the entire Lyft Business product suite.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role with direct influence on Lyft’s enterprise offerings. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in algorithm development, machine learning, causal inference, and experimentation, alongside strong business acumen in B2B contexts and a proven track record of technical leadership in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
