Jobbeschreibung

We are looking for experienced engineers to join the EU Traffic team, based at Deliveroo, part of DoorDash, and help build the next generation of DoorDash's Traffic platform. We are building a single, shared platform designed to serve DoorDash, Deliveroo, and Wolt, so your work will shape reliability and security for all three marketplaces. Our team owns the infrastructure that carries every request into and through that platform: the edge, where we manage Cloudflare (CDN, DNS, rate limiting, bot mitigation) and the ingress systems for external traffic, and service-to-service (S2S) communication, where we run the service mesh and the authentication that secures calls between thousands of services across multiple regions. You will work on core components of our traffic stack, including our Cloudflare edge configuration (managed as code), and service-to-service authentication and authorization (workload identity, token issuance and validation at the mesh layer). This role sits at the intersection of distributed systems, networking, and security. It includes designing, building, and maintaining systems that must operate reliably and efficiently across some of the most critical and latency-sensitive workloads at DoorDash, from the first byte at the edge to the last hop between services. You will report to the Engineering Manager of the EU-Traffic Team within the Infrastructure organization. This role is hybrid working from London.
