IT Engineering Manager

10/2026 – Present · Lyft, Hamburg

I lead the European IT Engineering team (8 engineers) in Lyft's Corporate Engineering & IT organization, after Lyft acquired Freenow. We own identity, devices, collaboration tools, automation and office networks for Europe, and together with our colleagues in North America we're building one global IT Engineering team.

  • Lyft integration: Moving everyone from Freenow onto Lyft's Atlassian, Slack, Google Workspace and Okta while keeping daily operations running. Slack went live about three months earlier than planned.
  • One global team: Setting up a shared way of working across two continents, with the same sprint cadence, one roadmap for the business and clear owners across time zones.
  • Everything as code: Managing identity, device and network configuration in Terraform, with endpoint security and access reviews as the standard in both regions.
  • Automation and AI support: More self-service, Workato automation and AI support agents, so engineers have time for the work that really needs them.
