Security Engineering is paramount to the success of our business, and DoorDash Security aspires to be one of the world’s most admired Security Engineering teams. We are committed to building the world’s most trusted on-demand logistics engine for delivery!

About the Role

Our Proactive Security Engineering team is looking for a Senior Security Engineer, Proactive Security - Platform to help build the paved paths that engineers across DoorDash, Wolt and Deliveroo use to access infrastructure, manage secrets and authenticate services.

• Build self-service tooling, SDKs, Terraform modules and integrations that let engineering teams adopt just-in-time access, short-lived credentials and dynamic secrets without filing a ticket.
• Help drive migrations off long-lived credentials and standing access. Success is measured in classes of exposure eliminated at the platform layer, not in shipping code for its own sake.
• Partner with Core Infrastructure, Compute, Data and product engineering teams to integrate paved paths into Kubernetes, CI/CD, and AWS and GCP environments across DoorDash, Wolt and Deliveroo.
• Participate in a follow-the-sun on-call rotation for tier-0 security services and raise the bar on Operational Excellence through monitoring, runbooks, incident response and root cause analysis.
• Help enable the secure adoption of AI tooling and agentic workflows through access control and secrets brokering for agents.
