About the Team
DoorDash is looking for an Engineering Manager with strong product sense to oversee building out fulfillment strategies and merchant solutions, focused on Core Restaurant & Incumbent verticals of our Drive delivery-as-a-service business. This team is in charge of growing our core Restaurant business while making key bets to enable DoorDash to tap into more nascent areas to unlock incumbent areas often already having delivery solutions, like Pizza, Auto Parts, Catering and more.
About the Role
This highly cross functional team will focus on both 0 to 1 initiatives targeting incumbent businesses, as well as scaling our mature Restaurant businesses, to help unlock new merchant growth opportunities and earnings opportunities for our Dashers. The team’s charter spans mobile, backend and some web components and involves problems like integrating with merchants, developing our fulfillment APIs and capabilities, improving our Dasher experience and pushing forward the frontier of our core fulfillment engines. The end goal is to do for last mile logistics what AWS did for cloud computing -- enable any third-party business to plug into our platform and have their items delivered, on-demand, anywhere in their city.
