At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. To do this, we start with our own community by

creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization.

As a leader in micromobility, Lyft powers millions of rides daily across over 200 cities with our

cutting-edge ride-sharing, bike-sharing, and scooter-sharing technologies. Our Montreal office is

the birthplace of North America's first automated bike-share system, Bixi, which has since

revolutionized urban mobility. Today, our pioneering system is operational in more than 50 cities

worldwide, including Barcelona, Bogota, Boston, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Dubai, London, Madrid,

Mexico City, Montreal, New York, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, and Washington DC, to name just

a few. Join us and be part of the team behind some of the world's largest and most successful

bike-share systems!
