? About You

You’ve built and shipped software—maybe a product, a service, or a tool used by real users. You’re comfortable working with microservices, API-driven architectures, and modern backend technologies. You take initiative, asking the right questions to ensure you're building the right solutions, and you care about clean, maintainable code that performs well in production.

You balance ownership and collaboration, knowing when to take charge of a project and when to work closely with your teammates. You bring ideas to the table and welcome feedback, always striving for the best technical and business outcomes. Whether you’re looking to deepen your expertise or expand your scope, you thrive in an environment where learning and impact go hand in hand. You understand that engineering excellence goes beyond development—you actively monitor quality, improve observability, and ensure that systems remain scalable and maintainable

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you! ?

? Where You’ll Work

These roles can be based in Helsinki or Berlin. We operate in a remote-friendly environment to foster collaboration and innovation.

Next Steps

The position will be filled as soon as we find the right person, so make sure to apply as soon as you realize you really, really want to join us!

The compensation will be a negotiable combination of monthly pay and DoorDash RSUs. The latter makes it exceptionally easy to be excited about our company growing and doing well, as you’ll own a piece of the pie.
