The posting, as Lyft wrote it

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.

Lyft Urban Solutions powers the bike-sharing and scooter-sharing systems that move millions of people in over 60 cities worldwide. We built North America's first automated bike-share system and continue to lead the micromobility revolution. Our systems operate globally - from Citi Bike in New York to BIXI in Montreal, Divvy in Chicago, Capital Bikeshare in DC, and iconic systems in Austin, Barcelona, Bogota, Boston, Buenos Aires, Columbus, Detroit, Dubai, London, Madrid, Mexico City, Monaco, Pittsburgh, Portland, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Toronto, and beyond.

We're not just technology providers - we operate these systems, building the software, hardware, and operations that make urban micromobility work at scale. LUS is a global business with teams and partners across North America, Europe, and Latin America, and our international footprint is growing. We're launching in new markets, introducing next-generation bikes and stations, and expanding some of the largest bikeshare systems in the world.
