Job description
Lyft Infrastructure builds the systems to ship stable, scalable, and efficient services. We’re hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead our AI transformation in developer productivity: rethinking how engineers at Lyft work with AI, from tooling and agentic workflows to the platforms that make them possible. This role blends program delivery with product sense: you’ll own the roadmap for your area, set priorities, and act as the voice of the customer., * Lead Lyft’s AI transformation in developer productivity: shape the strategy for how AI enhances engineering workflows, from adoption of tools like Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code to building AI-native workflows and agentic tooling for engineers
- Own the roadmap: sequence the work, make the prioritization calls, and define what success looks like for AI-driven engineering productivity at Lyft
- Partner with engineering teams to build AI-native workflows that solve real developer pain, not just deploy tools for the sake of it
- Run programs end to end, from kickoff through delivery, coordinating across infrastructure, developer platforms, and engineering leadership
- Be the voice of the customer: partner with engineering teams across Lyft, surface their pain points, and feed that back into priorities and roadmaps
- Define success metrics and adoption goals, gather and document customer requirements, and make sure what ships actually solves the problem
- Partner with engineering and infrastructure leads to build plans, call out risks early, and keep stakeholders aligned
- Own program health: track milestones, surface blockers before they slip, and keep decision-makers in the loop
- Use your technical background to ask sharp questions and build plans the team believes in
- Share in the team’s release oncall rotation

- 5+ years in Technical Program Management or a TPM/PM hybrid role

- Hands-on familiarity with AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code) and how engineers actually use them
- Bonus: experience building or shipping AI-native or agentic workflows
- A strong track record leading cross-functional programs with real dependencies and tight timelines, autonomously and with only high-level direction
- Experience owning customer relationships across engineering teams, gathering requirements, and translating their needs into roadmaps and technical specs
- Ability to glean meaningful insights from usage and productivity data to influence product planning and communicate to others
- Comfortable defining and tracking success metrics and adoption
- Clear communicator across the stack, from engineer to VP
