Software Engineer, Reliability Platform

Doordash • Seattle, WA

83d • $130,600 - $192,000

About The Position

The Reliability Platforms organization is part of DoorDash's Production Lifecycle team, which owns the end-to-end experience of how engineers safely change, observe, and operate production systems. Our mission is to enable teams to confidently make changes to production, understand reliability and service health on demand, and abstract complexity into platforms for common operations with built-in guardrails that make safe, repeatable operations the default. Reliability Platforms builds platforms as products that touch every production change, with two primary areas of focus: Self-Serve Infrastructure & Configuration Change Control - building the systems engineers use to provision services, request cloud resources, and safely make config changes across traffic, compute, and secrets; Reliability & Service Health - delivering unified health scores, SLOs, alerting pipelines, and automation that help engineers know what's happening, improve reliability, and act quickly when something goes wrong. Together, these focus areas form the backbone of how DoorDash engineers safely ship, observe, and remediate production systems.
