Builds and operates DoorDash's ML serving platform — request routing, online feature retrieval, and model inference on CPU/GPU infrastructure handling tens of millions of predictions per second. Day to day: designing and rolling out services in backend languages like Java/Kotlin/Go while improving Kubernetes autoscaling, reliability, and self-serve tooling for internal ML teams.
DoorDash’s ML Serving Platform delivers tens of millions of predictions per second, powering search, recommendations, advertising, delivery estimates, and logistics across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo.
Our customers are modelers and engineering teams across our internal business verticals. We build self-serve infrastructure that empowers them to bring new models into production, adopt open source software and models, and expand what they can accomplish with machine learning at scale.
We work at the intersection of a rapidly evolving open source ecosystem and demanding production workloads. With active customer demand and growing modeling ambitions, we’re advancing the infrastructure behind today’s predictions while building the capabilities that enable the next generation of ML innovation.
You’ll help build the next generation of our ML serving platform, connecting request routing and online feature retrieval with model inference on CPU and GPU infrastructure. You’ll tackle challenging infrastructure problems involving latency, reliability, resource efficiency, and scale, and make those capabilities accessible through self-serve tools and workflows.
Working alongside experienced platform engineers, you’ll own defined projects from technical design and implementation through testing, rollout, and production support. You’ll partner directly with internal teams to understand emerging modeling requirements, remove adoption barriers, and turn advances in open source technology into measurable production improvements.
