The opportunity
The Dev Environments team sits within DoorDash's Foundations group (Platform Engineering). We own the local and remote developer experience across the DoorDash group of companies supporting over 5000 engineers.
What you'll do
Define the architecture for how thousands of engineers across DoorDash, Wolt,: and Deliveroo actually develop and ship code: local and remote dev containers, remote IDE/VM lifecycle, and the full local-to-remote loop.
Build monorepo dev tooling at scale. It's part of consolidating all the: companies under DoorDash’s umbrella onto one global backend - you're setting the standard, not patching one org's tooling.
Provision production-shaped environments in seconds, keep state in sync over: the network, and make a remote machine feel local, reliably and cheaply, at thousands-of-concurrent-engineers scale.
Expect to invent as much as you adopt: much of this is genuinely unsolved elsewhere in the industry.
Design for AI agents as first-class consumers of the environment, not an: afterthought: sandboxes that spin up on demand, run in parallel, and are safe to hand a real repo.
Support agents launched from an IDE, a CLI, or a Slack message: with no laptop required to review and ship what the agent did.
What they're looking for
- Align teams that don't naturally sit adjacent to each other (e.g. Security,: Infrastructure, Product Engineering) around unstructured, ambiguous problems where there's no existing playbook.
- Mentor engineers at all levels: run design reviews; raise the engineering bar through code review, pairing, and architectural guidance when appropriate.
- Help set the hiring bar: lead interview loops, help calibrate, and support onboarding of senior hires.
- A track record of shipping production systems and leading cross-team: initiatives with group level impact - comfortable owning delivery end to end, from design through to production and adoption.
