Senior Software Engineer, Foundational Infrastructure & Networking
Lyft, Toronto, Canada +1
About the job
At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. Lyft’s Infrastructure organization builds the high-scale foundation that every engineer at Lyft relies on to ship safe, performant, and reliable services.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Foundational Infrastructure & Networking team, you will own the core routing, service mesh, and control planes that power hundreds of microservices processing millions of rides daily. This is an IC role with massive engineering leverage: your technical architecture, systems design, and performance optimizations will directly amplify the velocity of every software engineer across Lyft while ensuring platform resiliency at scale.
Responsibilities
- Architect & Scale Core Networking: Design, build, and optimize our service mesh, ingress/egress infrastructure, and edge routing capabilities using Envoy Proxy and custom control planes on AWS.
- Optimize High-Throughput Control Planes: Enhance load-balancing algorithms, service discovery, and dynamic scaling mechanisms across high-concurrency data and control planes running on Kubernetes.
- Drive Systems Reliability & Observability: Operationalize deep telemetry, metrics, and distributed tracing across our networking stack to drastically reduce mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) and resolution (MTTR).
