About the Team We are on a mission to build a reliable, fast, and scalable search for DoorDash. As a product, we help millions of customers find the stores, items, and experiences they want. As a platform, we provide indexing, retrieval, ranking, and query understanding capabilities to internal customer teams across more than 20 verticals. Our work spans three dimensions: scale (over a billion indexed documents, thousands of QPS, expensive operations on millions of documents per second), product (improving search experience for DoorDash customers and enabling product teams across many surfaces to experiment with minimal friction using search infrastructure), and quality (query understanding, multi-stage ranking, and semantic search capabilities to improve search relevance and drive conversion).
This is a pivotal moment for Search. We are evolving the platform to support the next generation of consumer experiences, from semantic search to agentic commerce experiences powered by LLM. The architectural decisions we make now will define how DoorDash discovery works for the next decade.
About the Role As a Senior Staff Engineer on Search, you will serve as the tech lead for the Search organization, driving the technical strategy and architectural direction for the entire search stack. You will own the multi-year technical roadmap spanning indexing, serving, and the backend systems that power search and agentic commerce experiences at DoorDash. This is an individual contributor role with org-wide technical authority.
You will partner closely with Machine Learning, Product, and Infrastructure stakeholders to chart the roadmap, scale foundational systems, and deliver high-impact outcomes that improve discovery, conversion, and customer experience.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…
Lead at scale: Serve as the uber tech lead for Search, providing technical vision and architectural direction across the entire organization. Own a multi-year roadmap that spans multiple services and teams powering mission-critical products at DoorDash.
Architect the next-generation search stack: Drive the rebuild of core search infrastructure, including indexing pipelines, embedding-based retrieval, and ML ranker serving in latency-sensitive paths. This stack will power both consumer search and agentic commerce experiences at DoorDash scale.
Influence across teams: Drive alignment across ML, Infrastructure, Product, and partner engineering teams. Mentor staff and senior engineers across the search org to raise the bar of technical excellence.
Shape engineering culture: Set the technical bar for how the search org designs, ships, and operates large-scale systems, and define the patterns that will outlast any single project.
Hands-on problem solving: Dig into complex distributed systems challenges, from low-latency serving to indexing freshness tradeoffs, and write code that moves the needle.
We’re excited about you because you have…
B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or equivalent.
10+ years of industry experience, with a track record of leading large-scale, high-impact components and systems.
Proven ability to drive multi-quarter technical roadmaps as a technical lead, with clear ownership of architectural decisions.
Deep expertise in distributed systems and data pipelines at scale. Expertise in search infrastructure, including indexing and serving stack.
Strong understanding of ML systems, embedding-based retrieval, model serving tradeoffs, and multi-stage ranking architectures.
Strong technical intuition paired with the ability to influence and align cross-functional stakeholders.
Humility and growth mindset, leading through expertise and collaboration, not hierarchy.

We are a technology and logistics company that started by enabling door‑to‑door delivery, and we are looking for team members who can help us go from a company that is known as the place you order food to a company that people turn to for any and all goods.
DoorDash is growing rapidly and changing constantly, which gives our team members the opportunity to share their unique perspectives, solve new challenges, and own their careers. We’re committed to supporting employees’ happiness, healthiness, and overall well‑being by providing comprehensive benefits and perks including premium healthcare, wellness expense reimbursement, paid parental leave and more.
Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That’s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.
