Software Engineer, Experimentation

Come help us build the world's most reliable on-demand, logistics engine for delivery! We're bringing on talented engineers to help us create and maintain a 24x7, no downtime, global infrastructure system that powers DoorDash’s three-sided marketplace of consumers, merchants, and dashers.

At DoorDash we’re building the most reliable delivery network to support our three-sided marketplace of consumers, merchants, and dashers! To evolve this network and the experiences built on top of it we need to measure and understand the effects of our changes. Experimentation Platform Engineers at DoorDash enable us to ship and measure new features with confidence and clarity.

Our team is looking for Experimentation Platform Engineers to work on infrastructure, libraries, automation, and processes to support world class experimentation and analysis at DoorDash.

Experimentation Platform at DoorDash is currently building libraries across our tech stack to facilitate consistent experimentation. We are also increasing our trust in our product data by enforcing a schema and reporting on the health of our pipeline. Future projects include: generalized tracking libraries across our tech stack, developing the next generation of our experimentation framework, building tools to manage our experiment ecosystem, and enabling experiments to target specific cohorts of users.
