## Job description

## 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 and 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 Senior Backend Engineers to join our product engineering team in Hyderabad. Product-focused engineers work at the intersection of product and infrastructure to solve key business problems with elegant technical solutions.

You'll work directly with product managers and cross-functional partners and move quickly from idea to experiment to production. You'll be challenged to consider the big picture, evaluating and executing on trade-offs to maximize business impact for the company. We expect Senior Engineers to be able to own projects end-to-end and mentor their junior and mid-level peers.

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
- Build fast-growing products for consumers and businesses and help take them to new markets globally
- Run rapid experiments with product partners and see your work's direct impact on customers and the business
- Be part of a new product engineering team in India and help shape how it builds and operates

We’re excited about you because…

- B.S., M.S., or PhD. in Computer Science or equivalent
- 5+ years of industry 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. AI is your default way of working, not an add-on.
- A strong sense of ownership and a bias for action: you take unclear problems from idea to production and own the outcome
- Product and business sense: you think about the end customer and make pragmatic trade-offs between speed and quality
- Ability to analyze and improve the efficiency, scalability and stability of system resources
- Experience with service-oriented architecture, writing REST or gRPC APIs, unit testing, and architectural design
- Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases and other technologies (e.g. Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ)
- Clear communication with engineers, product managers and business partners across time zones

## 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.

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.
