Software Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure
About The Position
Help us build the world's most reliable, on-demand logistics engine for last-mile delivery! We're bringing on experienced engineers to help us create and maintain a 24x7, no downtime, global infrastructure system that powers DoorDash’s three-sided marketplace of consumers, merchants, and dashers. We are looking for an experienced engineer to join the Cloud Infrastructure team and help build the next generation of DoorDash’s cloud platform. Our team owns the foundational cloud layer that every other infrastructure and product team builds on — AWS and GCP accounts, networking primitives like VPC and Transit Gateway, Terraform modules and Atlantis, IAM guardrails, S3, ECR, and cloud quotas — across all DoorDash brands, including DoorDash, Deliveroo, and Wolt. We also offer “cloud solutions engineering”: we unblock teams across DoorDash with novel or complex cloud needs, from multi-cloud deployments and cross-cloud credential vending to multi-region sFTP. You will partner directly with teams across the company to take a need from an ambiguous request to production, and mature the most common ones into platform products that can be adopted widely. This role sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, security, and developer experience. It includes designing, building, and operating systems that must be reliable, secure, easy-to-use, and cost-efficient. You will report to the Engineering Manager of the Cloud Infrastructure team within the Infrastructure organization. This role is hybrid working from our New York City, Seattle, Bay Area engineering hub.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience as a software engineer in infrastructure, cloud, or platform engineering
- Deep, hands-on experience with AWS (IAM, Organizations, VPC, S3, ECR, etc.)
- Experience with cloud networking primitives like VPC, PrivateLink, Transit Gateway and VPC peering.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tooling like Terraform and GitOps workflows such as Atlantis or ArgoCD
- Experience with programming languages like Go and Python
- Experience with Kubernetes
- Track record of taking ambiguous problems from customer teams to well-paved solutions that can be adopted across multiple teams
- You are curious, independent, ambitious, and can find solutions and make progress in an ambiguous and challenging environment
- 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
