Job summary

DoorDash is seeking a Software Engineer to join the Core BI team. You will build and operate backend services, APIs and infrastructure powering BI platforms used across the DoorDash ecosystem.

You will automate the platform lifecycle, implement integrations with BI platforms, and improve availability, observability and security. You will also apply AI tooling to deliver reliable, scalable solutions and mentor the team on best practices.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production backend, platform or infrastructure systems.
• Readable, maintainable, well-tested code in Python, plus comfort with SQL and a working understanding of data modelling and warehousing concepts.
• Experience building and owning APIs, integrations or automation in production, with sound judgement on service boundaries, authentication, data contracts and failure modes.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, deploy and operate the backend services, APIs and automation that the BI platforms across DoorDash, Deliveroo and Wolt depend on.
• Automate the platform lifecycle end to end (provisioning, metadata, permissions, migrations, archival and validation) so administration stops being manual work.
• Build the integrations between BI platforms and the wider ecosystem: warehouses, identity providers, orchestration, CI/CD and internal developer tooling.
• Improve the availability, observability, performance, scalability and security of the systems you own, and carry them in production.
• Use AI tooling as part of how you engineer, and where it fits, build LLM-backed capabilities held to the same reliability and governance bar as anything else we ship.
• Raise the engineering bar on the team, from service design and code review to testing, CI/CD and documentation, and improve the developer experience for everyone building on the platform.
