About the Role

As a member of the Compute Team, you will own and extend our Compute Platform, enabling other teams to run their services on our scalable and highly available Kubernetes infrastructure. You will report into the Engineering Manager on the Compute Team in the Core Infrastructure organization. Once our offices open, we expect this role to be 100% remote.

• Design, develop, and deliver significant features and components to improve and enable service-to-service communication needs for all DoorDash teams in a secure, robust, and scalable way.
• Work in a 100% Cloud Environment (AWS) and use tools and services like Argo Workflows, Argo CD, Service Mesh (Envoy), kOps, Chronosphere, etc.

We’re excited about you because…

• You have 3+ years of experience in Infrastructure, Platform, or Backend development.
• You have prior experience with modern infrastructure tooling, such as Kubernetes, as an administrator or operator in a production setting, e.g. container orchestration, cloud providers (AWS, GCP, etc.), and infrastructure-as-code tools.
• You are curious and driven to understand the needs of your customers.
• You believe in providing valuable abstractions, clear customer SLOs, and meaningful KPIs.
• You have strong knowledge of UNIX/Linux and networking.
• You are an experienced Go or Python programmer.
