About The Position

As a member of the Cloud Infrastructure Team within Core Infrastructure, you’ll design, build, and operate the foundational cloud systems that underpin all of DoorDash engineering. Your work will ensure that our cloud environments are secure, scalable, cost-efficient, and easy to use for product and platform teams alike. You’ll partner closely with Compute, Traffic, and Platform teams to evolve our multi-cloud strategy, modernize governance and automation, and enable teams to deliver faster with confidence.

Requirements

5+ years of experience building or operating cloud infrastructure at scale (AWS, GCP, or similar).
Proficient with Terraform, Infrastructure-as-Code, and automation pipelines (e.g., Atlantis, GitHub Actions).
Strong technical knowledge of VPC networking, subnets, Transit Gateway, PrivateLink, and cross-account access patterns.
Experience implementing monitoring and alerting for cloud systems using tools like Prometheus, CloudWatch, or Datadog.
Write clean, maintainable code in Go, Python, or another modern language.
Value solving problems at the platform level, building abstractions that make life easier for hundreds of engineers.

Nice To Haves

Experience with multi-cloud environments or cloud portability initiatives.
Contributed to cost optimization, or governance automation.
Experience building self-service infrastructure platforms used by other teams.
Understand or have contributed to network security and policy enforcement (e.g., SCPs, IAM boundaries).
Enjoy working across multiple domains such as networking, infrastructure, automation, and developer experience.

Responsibilities

Build and evolve DoorDash’s foundational cloud infrastructure in AWS (and emerging in GCP), including accounts, VPCs, networking, IPAM, and identity governance.
Design and implement cloud networking at scale using Transit Gateway, PrivateLink, and cross-account peering.
Automate infrastructure management through Terraform, Atlantis, and other Infrastructure-as-Code tools.
Develop proactive monitoring and alerting for cloud health, network reachability, and service limits to improve reliability and visibility.
Partner with platform teams to provide reusable cloud primitives (e.g., AWS building blocks) for self-serve infrastructure.
Contribute to cloud governance and FinOps initiatives, helping enforce guardrails and optimize resource usage across accounts and services.
Support multi-cloud expansion, developing the next generation of tooling and automation to spin up new environments in GCP or other providers.
