Why does DoorDash even need engineers?
I assume to do their software systems. I doubt they do much cooking.
Probably social engineers, a.k.a. psychologists. They study why someone would be so lazy and economically ignorant to buy a $6.00 hamburger from McDonalds an pay $8 - 10 dollars and when it arrives it's cold as ice.
If you don't know that engineers are needed for online services, you should stop using them. Including FR.

“Why does DoorDash even need engineers?”
It’s a ‘creative’ use of the term to call them engineers (software engineers, to be specific), since the real engineering professions have a lot in common, such as specific math and physics requirements.
Decades ago, I took a refrigeration class using an RSES (Refrigeration Service Engineers Society) curriculum. I still remember a guy there asking why the hell we were calling ourselves ‘engineers’, as we were MECHANICS.
So, I guess, the term ‘engineer’ is used in some cases to make people feel important.
