About the role
About the Team The Code Quality team sits within the Developer Platform organization and owns the systems that keep DoorDash's codebase healthy and secure as it scales: static analysis, quality gates, test frameworks, regression infrastructure, and tooling. Our job is to make sure the signals engineers rely on before shipping — test results, coverage, performance feedback etc — are fast and trustworthy. The decisions we make about tooling and standards directly shape how confidently and quickly engineering teams at DoorDash can ship to production. About the Role We're looking for Software Engineers to help build and maintain the systems that validate code quality across DoorDash's engineering org, treating our tooling as a critical product for the engineers who rely on it every day: static analysis and quality gates, test frameworks and regression infrastructure. You’ll design the tooling and automation that will help derive trustworthy quality signals, integrate them into the development lifecycle, and make it easy for engineers to execute reliable, repeatable workflows. You will collaborate across the engineering org, partnering directly with the teams who use what you build to understand the accuracy, reliability and performance of their functionality. You will report into the Engineering Manager on our Code Quality team in our Developer Platform organization. You must be located in either San Francisco, CA, Sunnyvale, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Seattle, WA, or New York, NY. You're excited about this opportunity because you will… • Build and maintain quality tooling — static analysis, quality gates, coverage reporting, test frameworks, regression infrastructure — and integrate it directly into our developer workflows and CI/CD pipelines • Define and derive quality signals - flakiness, pass rate, coverage, performance, scale readiness etc - • Build tooling that improves everyday engineering workflows, including local development, CI/CD, debugging, and rollouts • Explore how AI agents and tools can automate parts of building quality checks, and use real engineering usage data to measure their impact • Partner directly with engineering, product, and QA teams across DoorDash to find their biggest bottlenecks and ship tooling that demonstrably improves them We're excited about you because… • Have experience building software quality infrastructure, test automation, meaningful ownership of build systems, CI/CD infrastructure, or developer productivity tooling • You have a strong debugging track record and have shipped changes that measurably improved an engineering team's workflow • You communicate clearly and partner effectively across functions — with engineers, product managers, and QA — to understand and solve real problems • You're comfortable working through ambiguous, cross-team problems and taking them to a solution with minimal guidance • You have 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 Applications for this position are accepted on an ongoing basis Compensation The successful candidate’s starting pay will fall within the pay range listed below and is determined based on job-related factors including, but not limited to, skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. Base salary is localized according to an employee’s work location. Ranges are market-dependent and may be modified in the future. In addition to base salary, the compensation for this role includes opportunities for equity grants. Talk to your recruiter for more information. DoorDash cares about you and your overall well-being.
