Job description

You’ll be joining the Developer Platform group. The group builds the core systems, tools, and environments that empower engineers to ship high-quality capabilities quickly and confidently. We own the developer experience for DoorDash’s primary monorepo, maintain the Bazel-based build ecosystem, evolve development environments for engineers & agents alike, and manage IDEs and agentic tooling. Our mission is to remove friction, improve iteration speed, and ensure a consistent, reliable experience across every stage of DoorDash’s software development lifecycle.

Here’s what your day-to-day might look like:

  • You are a Project Owner who can understand customer problems and translate objectives into well defined and scoped sub-problems for yourself and peers.
  • You set a high bar for craftsmanship, reliability, and scalability, and lead by example in execution. You are capable of making long term vs short term trade-offs and design high-quality, durable solutions
  • You have effective project management skills and can manage moderate levels of ambiguity.
  • You take ownership of areas within your team’s charter and make improvements that deliver real impact for your customers and peers. You identify gaps and provide recommendations to your cross-functional partners with regularity.
  • You are a role model within your own team, showing up as an empathetic and influential teacher and mentor.

Requirements

Our ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in some of these areas and curiosity to grow in others:

  • A strong background in software engineering, preferably with Go and/or Python
  • Extensive experience with infrastructure tooling, ideally Terraform
  • Extensive experience with managing AWS cloud environments
  • Demonstrated ability to contribute to the direction of a technical domain in the platform space (eg. Container Orchestration, Kafka, Build Systems, Observability)
  • Background in building AI-assisted developer tools or integrating LLM-backed
