About Software Engineer II, Backend

  About the Role

  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 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.

  We’re looking for 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.

  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

  Improve performance, reliability, scalability and security for our backend systems

  Be involved in transitioning our monolithic codebase to a microservice-based architecture

  Completely disrupt logistics by tackling bleeding-edge, technical problems

  We're excited about you because you have…

  B.S., M.S., or PhD. in Computer Science or equivalent

  2+ years of industry experience

  Prior experience working with backend tech stacks

  Ability 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)

  About DoorDash

  At DoorDash, our mission to empower local economies shapes how our team members move quickly, learn, and reiterate in order to make impactful decisions that display empathy for our range of users—from Dashers to merchant partners to consumers. We are a technology and logistics company that started with door-to-door delivery, and we are looking for team members who can help us go from a company that is known for delivering food to a company that people turn to for any and all goods.

  DoorDash is growing rapidly and changing constantly, which gives our team members the opportunity to share their unique perspectives, solve new challenges, and own their careers. We're committed to supporting employees’ happiness, healthiness, and overall well-being by providing comprehensive benefits and perks including premium healthcare, wellness expense reimbursement, paid parental leave and more.

  Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

  We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That’s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.

Whether blatant or hidden, barriers to success have no place at DoorDash. We value a diverse workforce – people who identify as women, non-binary or gender non-conforming, LGBTQIA+, American Indian or Native Alaskan, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, differently-abled, caretakers and parents, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.
