# Senior Data Scientist, Autonomous Vehicles

At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. We aim to achieve this by cultivating a work environment where all team members belong and have the opportunity to thrive. The future of Lyft is a hybrid network, where autonomous vehicles and human drivers serve riders side by side on one platform. That future has already started. In September 2026, Lyft riders in Nashville were matched with Waymo autonomous vehicles on the Lyft app for the first time, a milestone years in the making. Through Flexdrive, Lyft manages the depots, charging and maintenance that keep autonomous fleets on the road. Our partnerships now span Waymo in Nashville, May Mobility in Atlanta and Baidu in Europe, with more on the way. We are early, and the playbook for running a hybrid marketplace at scale hasn't been written yet. You will help write it. The Global Growth organization is charting the future of Lyft's growth beyond North American rideshare's core products. This includes our premium Luxury modes and Livery drivers, building a unified Lyft presence internationally, and bringing Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) to riders domestically and abroad. As the Staff Data Scientist for AV, you will be the science leader
