About the Team

DoorDash is building the world's most reliable on-demand, logistics engine for delivery. We are continuing to grow rapidly and expanding our Engineering offices globally! We are looking for Staff Backend Engineers to build and maintain a large scale 24x7 global infrastructure system that powers DoorDash's 3-sided marketplace of Consumers, Merchants and Dashers.

About the Role

We’re looking for Staff Backend Engineers to work on both Product and Product Platform based teams. Product focused Engineers work at the intersection of product and infrastructure to solve key business problems with elegant technical solutions. You'll operate our backend services and architecture that support all product functionality and will be challenged to consider the big picture -- collaborating cross-functionally, as well as evaluating and executing on trade-offs to maximize business impact for the company. We expect Staff Engineers to be able to run cross-functional projects end to end, mentor their junior to mid level peers and influence our technical roadmaps

This role is hybrid with some in-office time expected and will report to an Engineering Manager.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will…
  • Develop, release and run large-scale web applications
  • Develop and define the backend architecture and tech stack for a product area
