The process is fast but the technical rounds are exhausting. DoorDash heavily indexes on practical implementation over pure algorithmic theory. You will get domain specific questions about dispatching Dashers or tracking active restaurant orders. After the technical screen there was a virtual onsite with a mix of heavy system design and practical live coding. They expect you to write production ready code very quickly.

Entrevista
A DoorDash recruiter contacted me twice on LinkedIn about what sounded like an active senior engineering opportunity related to AI / agentic systems. The outreach was polished and made the role sound urgent and relevant to my background. After I replied, I was sent a Calendly link, but the first available slot was several weeks out. I scheduled the call anyway.
Shortly before the scheduled call, the recruiter canceled with a generic message saying the position had been filled and they could not move forward. This was especially frustrating because the same pattern had happened before: outreach, long wait for recruiter availability, then cancellation because the role was no longer available.
My impression was that this was more like pipeline sourcing than a real active recruiting process. I understand roles can close, but candidates should not be asked to wait weeks for a call unless there is a real approved opening and the recruiter can confirm the job ID, team, level, and hiring scope. DoorDash should be more transparent when outreach is only exploratory.
Advice to candidates: Before scheduling time with DoorDash recruiting, ask for the official job link, job ID, team, level, location, and confirmation that the role is still active. Otherwise, you may spend weeks waiting for a recruiter screen that gets canceled before it happens.
