Staff Security Engineer, Security Enablement

The posting, as DoorDash wrote it

About the Role

Global Safety and Security (GSS) protects our people, our sites, and the physical and logical systems that keep the business running. Our security and protection programs are never single-team efforts: one rollout can touch physical security operations, customer experiences, site readiness, hardware provisioning, networking, cloud infrastructure, identity, and the data platforms above them — spanning many countries, on timelines tied to leases, permits, and vendors.

• Partner with our software engineers from design through implementation, ensuring the right security outcomes are achieved. Propose and review architecture, design highly resilient, secure and scalable solutions, deliver proactive feedback to drive continuous improvement, hold the interface contracts, and support services in production ensuring operational excellence.
• Own the cloud footprint of the security stack. The AWS services that host and scale these systems, the identity and network boundaries around them.
• Own execution of complex and ambiguous security initiatives through detailed working-backwards plans. Start from the outcome and the date, then derive the dependency chain, critical path, owners, and the decisions that must land before each gate.
