At Door Dash, we’re reimagining how people connect with the things they need — whether it’s a meal, a grocery run, and anything in between. Our audiences — Consumers, Dashers, and Merchants — are at the heart of everything the Design org builds. Our content design team plays a big part in this, with each content designer shaping the experience and bringing our vision to life through clear, thoughtful language that makes our three-sided marketplace easier, faster, and more human.

We’re looking for a full stack UX Design Engineer to be the technical backbone of our global Content Design org and leader who builds the platforms, tooling, and ML systems that make world-class, localized product content effortless across Door Dash, Wolt, and Deliveroo. You’ll work at the intersection of design and engineering to build content tooling and embed LLM-driven workflows into product experiences.

You’ll accelerate content design AI tooling so that CD’s can focus on the highest leverage strategic work, while your tools enable product designers and cross functional partners to ship high-quality content faster across Door Dash, Wolt, and Deliveroo.

Design and build internal content tools that:

• Help PMs and designers generate, manage, localize, and deploy product content at scale.
• Plug custom GPTs and other LLMs into everyday product workflows for content iteration and improvements.

Own full-stack development of these tools:

• Design and implement backend services and APIs (e.g., Kotlin/Java) to support content tooling, experimentation, and automation.

Integrate tooling with experimentation and infra:

• Embed content tools into A/B testing platforms so teams can test and ship variants with minimal engineering dependency.
• Build pipelines from variant generation > experiment > automated deployment of winners.

Operationalize systems and performance:

• Write clean, maintainable, production-quality code and participate in code reviews.
• Optimize performance and reliability across the stack, troubleshooting issues as they arise.

Collaborate across brands and teams:

• Partner closely with content designers, product designers, PMs, AI infra, design systems, and localization teams across Door Dash, Wolt, and Deliveroo.

Measure impact and drive adoption:

• Define and track metrics such as speed to ship, adoption, quality, and content designer time saved.

• 5-8 years of experience as a Design Engineer, UX Engineer, or Senior Software Engineer building complex internal tools or platforms.
• Experience integrating with internal services, experimentation platforms (A/B testing, feature flags), and infrastructure systems.
• Proven ability to partner with designers and/or content strategists to translate workflows into scalable products.
• Systems thinking and comfort designing for multi-product, multi-brand environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug issues across the stack.
• Comfort working in ambiguous, cross-functional spaces with multiple dependencies.

• Experience building internal platforms for non-engineering audiences.
• Familiarity with AI-driven systems, LLM integrations, or evaluation pipelines.
• Experience working in Agile environments and collaborating across distributed teams.
