About the Team

DoorDash Labs is an independent team within DoorDash. As a fullstack engineer on the foundry team at DD Labs, you will be responsible for building and maintaining web applications end‑to‑end — from React frontends to the backend services and APIs behind them — spanning both internal tools and external merchant‑facing products that help build and scale our products to the next level.

• Design, build, and operate backend services and APIs (REST/gRPC) that power both internal tools and merchant‑facing products.
• Brainstorm and come up with innovative solutions to enable scaling our operations at various stages
• Be excited to learn more about and contribute to other adjacent disciplines (data analysis, etc) when possible

We’re excited about you because you have…

• B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science or equivalent
• 6+ years of industry experience
• Understanding of modern web stacks and architecture (HTTP, REST, gRPC)
• Strong foundations: vanilla JS, HTML5, CSS3
• Deep understanding of REST principles and designing and building backend APIs
• Experience designing and architecting web solutions working cross‑team with product and design
• Experience with React/Redux, or similar frameworks
• Experience working with Express and Node.js servers
• Experience with relational databases — schema design, query optimization (PostgreSQL or similar)
• Experience with documentation, unit and integration testing
