At Lyft, our mission is to improve peoples lives with the worlds best transportation. To do this, we start with our own community by creating an open, inclusive, & diverse organization.

Lyft started as a donation-based ridesharing network in San Francisco, & today provides millions of rides every day in more than 200 cities. Were moving to a world where on-demand transportation is a viable alternative to vehicle ownership & we need people with vision & insight to help get us there. Our team has a history of enabling rich & creative features that set the standard for the ride/bike/scooter-sharing industry. We constantly innovate & incorporate cutting edge technologies to make the lives of our communities better. 

Our Montreal office developed the first automated bikeshare system in North America (Bixi), a system that has since been deployed in multiple cities around the world: Chicago, London, Mexico (coming soon), Montreal, New York, San Francisco to name a few. These are also some of the biggest bikeshare systems in the world!
