About the Team

At DoorDash, we’re on a mission to empower local economies — and that mission drives everything we do. What started as food delivery has evolved into a technology and logistics platform designed to help people access anything in their city, from meals to everyday essentials. We’re building the future of local commerce, and we’re looking for team members excited to be part of that journey.

Joining DoorDash means working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where your ideas can shape products, impact millions of users, and help merchants, Dashers, and customers thrive. We value creativity, ownership, and continuous learning — and we’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone can grow their careers while making a real difference.

We also care deeply about our team’s well-being. DoorDash offers comprehensive benefits, including premium healthcare, paid parental leave, wellness reimbursements, and more — because we believe that when our people thrive, our communities thrive too.

• Improve configuration safety by implementing validation tooling, staged rollouts, and guardrails to reduce operational risk.
• Mentor engineers in distributed systems design, experimentation frameworks, and platform excellence.
• Foster a culture of ownership, velocity, and strong cross-functional collaboration.
• Partner with Recruiting to build a diverse, inclusive, and high-caliber engineering team.

We're excited about you because you have… 

• BS, M.S., or PhD. in Computer Science or related field
• 2+ years of experience in people management, leading eading backend/platform teams of 5+ engineers
