DoorDash is building the world's most reliable on-demand, logistics engine for delivery! We're looking for experienced engineers to join our fast-growing engineering team to help us develop a 24x7, global infrastructure system that powers DoorDash’s three-sided marketplace of consumers, merchants, and dashers.

Here are some potential projects you’d work on

• Build an ETA platform that powers all of our real-time ETAs across every vertical
• Make DoorDash the highest quality and most efficient platform when it comes to doing deliveries
• Build internal tools to allow for everyone in DoorDash to make sense of geo-spatial data and to help us make better decisions

What you’ll achieve

• A deep understanding of mapping tech and domain
• Develop and define the architecture and tech stack for a product area
• Improve performance, reliability, scalability and security for our frontend and backend systems
• Use technology to make a huge impact to the business

What We're Looking For

• B.S., M.S., or PhD. in Computer Science or equivalent
• 5+ years of industry experience
• Prior experience working with backend tech stacks
• Able to analyze and improve efficiency, scalability, and stability of various system resources
• Experience with service oriented architecture, writing REST API’s, unit testing, and architectural design
• Understanding of modern web stacks and architecture (HTTP, REST)
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases and other technologies (e.g. Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ)

Nice To Haves

• Experience building large scale, real-time applications
• Experience with Java/Kotlin
• Contributor to open source projects
