Software Engineer, Backend

$120k - $150k per year

DoorDash Canada

About the Team

DoorDash is building the world's most reliable on-demand, logistics engine for delivery! We're looking for experienced engineers to join our fast-growing engineering team to help us develop a 24x7, global infrastructure system that powers DoorDash’s three-sided marketplace of consumers, merchants, and dashers.

About the Role

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
  • Prior experience working with backend tech stacks
  • 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
  • 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 ( REST)
  • Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases and other technologies (e.g. Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ)
