Job description

About the Team

Our mission is to provide a world-class development experience that makes DoorDash’s web engineers among the most productive in the industry. We achieve this by creating the tools that enable all teams at the company to ship features quickly and reliably. Because their success is our success, we are deeply invested in building a strong, collaborative web community that champions best practices and welcomes participation.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer on the Developer Experience team, you will build the foundational pieces for all DoorDash, Wolt and Deliveroo Web applications. These include monorepos, build & CI systems and agent-first development tooling. You will work closely with engineers and other internal stakeholders to deliver large and impactful initiatives. Additionally, you will be a culture carrier for our Web engineers through mentorship, education, and engagement of your peers.

You will report into the Engineering Manager of our Web Developer Experience team in our Developer Platform organization. You must be located in either San Francisco, CA, Sunnyvale, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Seattle, WA, or New York, NY.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Shape the future of Web Development. You will have a direct and meaningful impact on the daily workflows of every web engineer at the company, enhancing their productivity and overall developer experience.
• Build from the ground up. You will architect and implement foundational libraries, cutting-edge build systems, and innovative development tools that serve as the bedrock for all of our web applications.
• Solve complex, high-impact challenges. You will tackle some of the most significant technical hurdles in web engineering, and the solutions you deliver will be leveraged by hundreds of employees across numerous product teams.
• Act as a force multiplier. Your work will directly empower product teams to build, test, and release new features to our customers faster and more reliably than ever before.
• Lead and mentor. You will have the opportunity to guide and influence the web engineering community, sharing your expertise, promoting best practices, and fostering a culture of technical excellence and collaboration.
• Collaborate across the organization. You will work in a highly cross-functional environment, partnering with a diverse group of engineers, product managers, and leaders to drive critical initiatives forward.

We’re excited about you because…

• You have deep expertise in the Node.js and TypeScript ecosystem.
• You are comfortable shipping important changes in large, complex codebases and monorepos without full context.
• You enjoy helping developers ship web applications quickly and securely, using user feedback and data to focus on high impact work.
• You are passionate about using emerging AI tools and helping others adopt them to work more effectively.
• You are an organized and excellent written and verbal communicator.
• You have proficiency in using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) in the full software development lifecycle, including designing, generating code, testing, monitoring and releasing software
