Get Access To All JobsAbout the Team
At DoorDash, we're reimagining how people connect with the things they need — whether it's a meal, a grocery run, and anything in between. Our audiences — Consumers, Dashers, and Merchants — are at the heart of everything the Design org builds. Our content design team plays a big part in this, with each content designer shaping the experience and bringing our vision to life through clear, thoughtful language that makes our three-sided marketplace easier, faster, and more human.
About the Role
We're looking for a full stack UX Design Engineer to be the technical backbone of our global Content Design org and leader who builds the platforms, tooling, and ML systems that make world-class, localized product content effortless across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo. You'll work at the intersection of design and engineering to build content tooling and embed LLM-driven workflows into product experiences. You'll accelerate content design AI tooling so that CD's can focus on the highest leverage strategic work, while your tools enable product designers and cross functional partners to ship high-quality content faster across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo.
You're excited about this opportunity because...
Design and build internal content tools that:
- Help PMs and designers generate, manage, localize, and deploy product content at scale.
- Plug custom GPTs and other LLMs into everyday product workflows for content iteration and improvements.
Own full-stack development of these tools:
- Build and maintain frontend experiences using React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Design and implement backend services and APIs (e.g., Kotlin/Java) to support content tooling, experimentation, and automation.
Integrate tooling with experimentation and infra:
- Embed content tools into A/B testing platforms so teams can test and ship variants with minimal engineering dependency.
- Build pipelines from variant generation experiment automated deployment of winners.
Operationalize systems and performance:
- Write clean, maintainable, production-quality code and participate in code reviews.
- Optimize performance and reliability across the stack, troubleshooting issues as they arise.
Collaborate across brands and teams:
- Partner closely with content designers, product designers, PMs, AI infra, design systems, and localization teams across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo.
Measure impact and drive adoption:
- Define and track metrics such as speed to ship, adoption, quality, and content designer time saved.
We're excited about you because...
- 5-8 years of experience as a Design Engineer, UX Engineer, or Senior Software Engineer building complex internal tools or platforms.
- Strong frontend engineering skills with modern frameworks (React, TypeScript/JavaScript, component libraries).
- Solid backend engineering experience.
- Experience integrating with internal services, experimentation platforms (A/B testing, feature flags), and infrastructure systems.
- Proven ability to partner with designers and/or content strategists to translate workflows into scalable products.
- Systems thinking and comfort designing for multi-product, multi-brand environments.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug issues across the stack.
- Comfort working in ambiguous, cross-functional spaces with multiple dependencies.
Nice to have's
- Experience building internal platforms for non-engineering audiences.
- Familiarity with AI-driven systems, LLM integrations, or evaluation pipelines.
- Experience working in Agile environments and collaborating across distributed teams.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Backend Engineer Jobs at DoorDash Jobs
Align your stack with DoorDash's backend systems
DoorDash runs high-scale distributed systems in Go, Kotlin, and Python. Tailor your resume and portfolio to show experience with microservices, real-time data pipelines, or payments infrastructure before you apply.
Target roles in DoorDash's core platform teams
Engineering teams focused on merchant integrations, driver dispatch, and checkout infrastructure file the most backend sponsorships. Targeting job postings in these areas increases your odds of landing a team with an active sponsorship pipeline.
Prepare your credentials for a specialty occupation case
USCIS scrutinizes whether a role requires a specific technical degree. Gather transcripts, any credential evaluations, and past job descriptions that demonstrate your backend work required specialized engineering knowledge, not just general programming.
Understand PERM timing if a Green Card path matters
PERM labor certification is employer-driven and can take two or more years before your I-140 is filed. Confirm with DoorDash's immigration team when PERM sponsorship typically begins after hire, so you can plan your status extensions accordingly.
Use Migrate Mate to filter verified DoorDash openings
Searching general job boards makes it hard to confirm which postings actively support visa sponsorship. Use Migrate Mate to browse Backend Engineer roles at DoorDash that are verified for sponsorship, saving you outreach to teams that won't sponsor.

Find Backend Engineer at DoorDash JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does DoorDash sponsor H-1B visas for Backend Engineers?
Yes, DoorDash sponsors H-1B visas for Backend Engineers. The company files petitions for both new H-1B cap-subject candidates and transfers for engineers already holding H-1B status at another employer. If you're in the H-1B lottery cycle, DoorDash's immigration team typically coordinates with outside counsel to submit registrations ahead of the March USCIS window.
How do I apply for Backend Engineer jobs at DoorDash?
Applications go through DoorDash's careers portal, where Backend Engineer roles are listed by team and location. The process typically includes a recruiter screen, a technical phone interview covering system design and coding, and a virtual onsite with multiple rounds. You can also browse verified sponsorship-eligible openings on Migrate Mate before applying directly to DoorDash's portal.
Which visa types does DoorDash commonly use for Backend Engineers?
DoorDash sponsors several nonimmigrant categories for Backend Engineers, including H-1B, H-1B1 for Chilean and Singaporean nationals, E-3 for Australian citizens, TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals, and F-1 OPT and CPT for students. On the immigrant side, the company supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways through PERM labor certification for longer-tenured engineers.
What qualifications does DoorDash expect for sponsored Backend Engineer roles?
DoorDash expects a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field, combined with hands-on experience building distributed systems at scale. Roles on logistics, payments, or platform infrastructure teams often require deeper experience with service reliability, API design, or data-intensive architecture. USCIS requires the position to qualify as a specialty occupation, so your background needs to match the specific technical requirements of the role.
How do I time my application around the H-1B cap if I'm on OPT?
USCIS opens H-1B registrations in March each year for an October 1 start date. If you're on F-1 OPT, you need to secure an offer and have your employer submit a registration before that window closes. A STEM OPT extension gives you up to 24 additional months of work authorization, which covers two H-1B lottery cycles and significantly reduces the urgency of landing an offer before a specific deadline.
