Questions were completely out of the scope of the job description. Interviewer kept trying to add nuances to the questions until he could finally figure out what he wanted to ask. Definitely trying to flex his muscles but I am getting my PhD in that technology. He was threatened.

Describe the architecture a project. The interviewer spent majority of time on challenging why my team built the service not the centralized data team. He just don't understand that each company and organization was set up differently. He was very assertive that storing and presenting data should come from one team. To save money, there was one optimization that I did to not save not-valuable data and he was not getting it to. He values data very much and wanted to store any data. Good luck DoorDash to have such mind set to blow off your budget.
