About this role

Senior Data Scientist - Optimization, Central Market Management & AI New York, NY 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 Central Market Management & AI (CMM&AI) team, a key part of the broader Rideshare Experience & Marketplace organization, is essential for maintaining a balanced and efficient marketplace. We do so by developing foundational models, business datasets, and decision-making applications that support a wide range of teams across Lyft. These critical platforms and tools power our pricing / pay strategy, operational alignment, and regional strategies, enabling us to compete effectively in the Rideshare landscape. Data Scientists in CMM&AI solve the foundational problems that drive Lyft's marketplace. From forecasting supply and demand to optimizing investments and measuring the ROI of growth levers, our work shapes both automated processes and high-level strategic decisions. Because our challenges are unique to a real-time marketplace, we avoid off-the-shelf solutions in favor of creativity and first-principles mathematical reasoning. We leverage a deep stack of technologies across forecasting, machine learning, inference, and optimization to deliver measurable impact. As a Senior Data Scientist on the Foundational Models team in CMM&AI, you will operate at the intersection of Machine Learning, Data Science, and Economics to build scalable optimization and modeling systems that directly impact Lyft's top and bottom lines. You will be hands-on with formulating optimization problems, building ML models, productionizing pipelines, and integrating their outputs
