Owns DoorDash's multi-terabyte-per-day security log pipelines across AWS and GCP — ingest, routing, enrichment, schema, and cost control — so detection engineers, threat hunters, and responders across DoorDash, Deliveroo, and Wolt can query telemetry. Day to day is coding (Python/Go/Rust/Java), data modeling in Snowflake/BigQuery/Redshift, and owning IaC and CI/CD for the pipeline.
At DoorDash, including international brands Deliveroo and Wolt, we’re building the industry’s most scalable and reliable delivery network to support our three-sided marketplace of consumers, merchants, and Dashers. Global Cyber Defense is a highly talented and globally distributed team that covers response, intelligence, insider risk, threat hunting, automation, and detection engineering. We exist to keep our brands safe for the Dashers, merchants, and consumers who depend on us. Our mission is to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats with speed and precision, while continuously hardening our defenses through automation, AI, and cross-regional collaboration.
Security at DoorDash, Deliveroo, and Wolt runs on telemetry, and our data pipelines team owns all of it. You will own multi-terabyte-per-day ingest across AWS and GCP, including reliability, cost, and schema, so that every detection engineer, threat hunter, and responder across three brands can find what they need. Most of your week goes to code, pipelines, and query performance rather than alert triage. The team spans the US and UK, so you will be in the room (or the thread) with IT, legal, privacy, incident response, insider risk, threat intelligence, and detection engineering on a regular basis. Very little of this work happens in isolation, and that is the fun of it. This role reports to the Senior Manager of Cyber Defense in the United States. The role includes participation in an on-call rotation for pipeline health.
