Staff Software Engineer, Backend

$185k - $231.5k per year

DoorDash Brazil

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

Product 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.

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
  • 8+ years of industry experience
  • Prior experience working with backend tech stacks
  • 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)
  • Nice To Haves
  • Experience building large scale, real‑time applications
  • Experience with Java/Kotlin
  • Contributor to open source projects

Compensation

Actual compensation within the pay range listed below will be decided based on factors including, but not limited to, skills, prior relevant experience, and specific work location. Base salary is localized according to employee work location.

In addition to base salary, the compensation for this role includes opportunities for equity grants.

DoorDash cares about you and your overall well‑being. That’s why we offer a comprehensive benefits package for all regular employees, that includes paid time off, paid parental leave, wellness benefit and several paid holidays.

Additionally, for full‑time employees, DoorDash offers medical, dental, and vision benefits, disability and basic life insurance, an RRSP including an employer match, and a mental health program, among others.

The base pay for this position ranges from our lowest geographical market up to our highest geographical market within British Columbia.

$185,000—$231,500 CAD

About DoorDash

At DoorDash, our mission to empower local economies shapes how our team members move quickly, learn, and reiterate in order to make impactful decisions that display empathy for our range of users—from Dashers to merchant partners to consumers. We are a technology and logistics company that started by enabling door‑to‑door delivery, and we are looking for team members who can help us go from a company that is known as the place you order food to a company that people turn to for any and all goods.

DoorDash is growing rapidly and changing constantly, which gives our team members the opportunity to share their unique perspectives, solve new challenges, and own their careers. We’re committed to supporting employees’ happiness, healthiness, and overall well‑being by providing comprehensive benefits and perks including premium healthcare, wellness expense reimbursement, paid parental leave and more.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That’s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.

If you need any accommodations, please inform your recruiting contact upon initial connection.
