About the Team

The Identity Intelligence team's mission is to eliminate threats and empower the growth of the DoorDash business by providing the source of truth for User Identity and the relationships of connected identifiers. We provide protection across DoorDash's external-facing endpoints. We are making dedicated investments into this space to drive major business impact for teams across DoorDash.

Our team is foundational and sits at the intersection of many other teams, serving critical needs related to user identification, attestation, and device intelligence. We envision our systems to be highly reliable, providing the source of truth for identity-related data with high quality, invaluable, and accurate information. This empowers teams to make the best business decisions, whether solving for fraud or unlocking growth.

We are focused on building extensible platforms, enabling teams to easily and quickly leverage the systems to build critical features. Improving engineering velocity with self-serve tooling and seamless end-to-end integrations that can deliver data insights from the client to the backend system is a key priority.

Our domain currently includes:

• Identity Graph: Providing the source of truth for User Identities and relationships between all entities.
• Attestation: Ensuring all requests to DoorDash servers are legitimate, including protection against bot traffic.
• Device: Uniquely and accurately identifying physical devices that access DoorDash and providing device-related insights.
