Jobs at Lyft

What Lyft's application asks

Across the 3 application forms Otto has filled at Lyft: 29 distinct questions, 11 of them usually required. A single application works out at about 19 minutes once you have your details to hand. It runs on Greenhouse.

12 are Lyft’s own, not boxes every form has:

Read off the forms themselves, last checked 2026-09-21, because Otto fills them in and has to read them first. Roles differ, so the estimate is per application rather than for the list above: each question counts for its cost times how often this employer actually requires it. A written answer is 2½ minutes, a dropdown 12 seconds, a yes/no 5 seconds, attaching a file 45 seconds. The list leaves out name-and-email boxes and anything Greenhouse puts on every employer’s form.
