DoorDash Data Engineer jobs
Ten open data roles on the SWE ladder, hybrid in the Bay Area, Seattle and NYC — with AI coding tools in the loop.
The Software Engineer II, Data Engineering role
DoorDash data engineers build and operate the batch and streaming pipelines, lake and warehouse models and platform tooling behind reporting, product analytics, marketing optimization, financial reporting and real-time personalization. Hiring is concentrated in two groups: Data Engineering (Python, Airflow, Spark, Kafka/Flink, data modeling) and Core Data Platform (ingestion frameworks, the Spark platform, the lakehouse, governance). The titles are software-engineering titles on the I-ladder rather than ‘Data Engineer’.
Data engineering is folded into the SWE I-ladder (I4, I5, I6, Staff) rather than a separate DE ladder; the Core Data Platform org owns ingestion, data mobility, infrastructure, tooling and governance (Spark, Flink, Kafka, Airflow, an Iceberg lakehouse, ClickHouse), and a separate Data Engineering team builds warehouse and lake pipelines for reporting, product analytics, marketing and finance.
