About the Team
DoorDash Labs is an independent team within DoorDash. We're hiring a geospatial software engineer to work at the intersection of software engineering and robotics to solve key business problems with elegant technical solutions. If you have a passion for applying robotics solutions to a service loved by millions of people, then we want to talk to you!
You're excited about this opportunity because you will...
- Build Geospatial Data Pipelines: Ingest and process data like terrain, sensor logs, point clouds, and building footprints.
- Analyze Complex 3D Environments: Develop spatial algorithms to classify terrain and detect obstacles, ensuring safe and reliable navigation for autonomous delivery systems.
- Scale Data Infrastructure: Design and scale high-performance spatial data storage and retrieval systems to handle the growing throughput demands of our expanding fleet.
- Serve and Visualize Map Data: Build high-performance map services (Vector Tiles, APIs) to render complex 3D environments and fleet positions in our web-based mission control dashboards.
We're excited about you because you have...
- B.S., M.S., or PhD. in Computer Science or equivalent.
- 6+ years of industry experience as a geospatial engineer.
- Experience with scientific Python and geospatial data science.
- Knowledge of Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS) and associated transformations.
- Spatial Database Proficiency: Expert-level skills with PostGIS (or equivalent) for managing complex geometries and spatial relationships.
- Algorithmic Mindset: You are comfortable writing logic to
