The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Lyft is hiring a Unreal Developer in Charlotte, NC.

• Role description

  We need someone who reads stack traces the way other people read headlines, and we're calling that someone an Unreal Developer. Trade your Jest and 3 years for $73,000 - $106,000 at Lyft, and the growth that follows is yours to build.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging Kubernetes and Jest
  • Keep the technology Team Leadership service humming through Charlotte's holiday traffic surge
  • Push Team Leadership changes safely behind flags so Charlotte, NC rollbacks take seconds
  • Tune Kubernetes caching so Lyft survives the Charlotte launch spike on the same hardware
  • Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across NC engineering teams
  • Hand off GitHub Actions runbooks so the next on-call at Lyft sleeps better
  • Slice the detail-focused technology monolith into GitHub Actions services Charlotte, NC can deploy alone

  What You'll Bring

  • 3+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
  • Comfort with a Lyft pace that rarely sits still
  • Demonstrated capacity to mentor or support mid-level teammates
  • Around 3+ years of hands-on experience in a technology role

  Lyft has become the empathy-led name technology buyers across NC bring up when someone asks who actually knows Microservices. Mentorship goes both ways at Lyft, and seniority never means having all the answers.

  We provide $73,000 - $106,000, a wellness budget, retirement matching, and clear milestones for moving up to the next mid-level.

  Confirmed unfilled today, Lyft continues its search in real time.
