The mission of Identity team is to - . Our work touches every user that signs up, logs in and uses our platform, across over two million rides a day. Our team’s scope encompasses all three types of Lyft customers - riders, drivers and enterprise partners, and includes impactful objectives such as:

• Ensure the security, reliability and compliance of user information including appropriate access to Lyft services based on various factors
• Collect and validate the user profile information to support access, personalization and delivery of Lyft services.
