Description

About the Team Come help us build and develop tools serving hundreds of DoorDash engineers! We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our design systems team to help develop the tools, processes, and component libraries that allow design and engineering to work efficiently and consistently to build high-quality products. We’re a team of cross-platform engineers and designers who work closely together to build and maintain DoorDash’s internal design system, as well as closely interface with product and platform engineers to ensure the libraries and tools we develop meet the technical standards and integration needs for developing Android applications across DoorDash. About the Role We’re hiring a Senior Android Software Engineer to develop and maintain our internal design system as well as other tools leveraged across design and engineering. You will work within a cross-functional team alongside other platform engineers (iOS and web), and design system designers, to build and ship the design system libraries used by DoorDash’s Android engineering group. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to influence design and architecture decisions for the UI & UX aspects of our applications, build out system components and foundations to ship to our engineering partners, and well as providing support and technical guidance across Android engineers developing DoorDash applications, frameworks, and toolsets. You must be located in San Francisco, Sunnyvale, Los Angeles, Seattle, or New York for this hybrid position. You will report into the Software Engineering Manager on our Design Infrastructure team in our Developer Platform organization. You’re excited about this opportunity because you will… Build and maintain our component and styles library, focused on Android. You'll build the Material Design-equivalent library of components for DoorDash (called Prism), and much, much more. Work with designers to establish our interaction patterns and visual language, and design how it gets propagated through tooling for Design and Engineering. Work with other Android engineers to use our component and styles library; work with product teams to infuse Design craft and quality into their work and processes. Own, augment, and build the software our designers use—we're not afraid to build new tools or explore the newest technologies to make our work better and more collaborative. Write documentation and guidance on how and why components, styles, and patterns are applied in code and design. You'll articulate design decisions across design to engineering and vice versa. We’re excited about you because… You care about setting up the team for success—helping shape the design system to help other designers and engineers do their best work is 80% of this job. You are an engineer that values and practices good design, or has been a designer in the past. You can contribute to both designs and engineering; applying both of those skills in one role excites you. Design is special to you; while other engineers love to be close to the metal, you want to be as close to the pixel as possible. Accessibility, animations, color contrasts/palettes are something you advocate for often, and love to write. API and library design experience—you can anticipate how aspects of the system will be used by designers and engineers, and design component APIs for the best developer experience. You care about how you can make the system evolve over time—you make design and engineering decisions that make company-wide changes easy. You think in systems; you can see how all the parts fit together, and how a small change can propagate throughout. Related BS/MS degree plus 5+ years industry experience in Android engineering. (Bonus points for previous experience with design systems and/or Swift package library management).
