  • Own high-impact frontend systems that directly influence the speed, scale, and reliability of model development and deployment.

  • Solve complex UI/UX challenges in technical domains like model experimentation, data visualization, and ML observability.

  • Join a small, high-leverage team where your contributions shape the future of DoorDash’s ML platform.

We’re excited about you because…



  • 5+ years of experience building and maintaining production-grade frontend applications

  • Proficiency in modern JavaScript/TypeScript and frontend frameworks, especially React

  • Strong understanding of UI/UX principles and ability to build intuitive user interfaces

  • Experience integrating with REST/gRPC APIs and a solid grasp of fullstack fundamentals, including backend interaction patterns and data flow

  • Comfortable collaborating with backend, ML, and infrastructure teams to define and consume data endpoints in Python backend services.

  • Familiarity with GenAI coding tools like Cursor
