About The Team

DoorDash’s mission is to grow and empower local economies. By building intelligent, last-mile delivery technology for local cities, DoorDash connects people with the local businesses they care about - helping grow businesses and the communities that support those businesses. The Marketing Technology team is responsible for delivering best-in-class tools, data, and processes so teams at DoorDash can effectively acquire new customers, drive retention, and grow new business lines across all our audiences. Our mission is to enable teams to deliver personalized, engaging, and relevant content across all our owned and paid channels. We partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Analytics teams to translate Marketing’s technology needs into measurable business outcomes for our Growth and Performance Marketing teams.

About The Role

We're looking for a Senior Associate, AI Solutions Architect to help build and scale AI-powered tools across DoorDash's Marketing teams. You'll work alongside our existing Marketing Technology AI Solutions Architects to identify opportunities where AI can solve real marketing problems, then build, test, and iterate on the solutions that make it happen. This role is grounded in hands-on building: you'll spend your time prototyping, coding, and shipping tools rather than pitching strategy from the sidelines.

This is a great opportunity to grow your technical and strategic skills at the intersection of marketing and AI. You'll get mentorship from a team of builders and exposure to the full lifecycle of AI development from prototype to deployment. This role will report to the Senior Manager, Marketing Technology within the Growth Marketing organization.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Comfort working directly with Product and/or Engineering teams to develop solutions and collaborate on roadmaps.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non‑technical partners.
• A builder / tinkerer mindset: resourceful and comfortable with ambiguity, able to prioritize your own workstream with input from your manager.
• Nice to have: experience with marketing technology platforms and tools, or a background in Marketing Ops, Marketing Analytics, or MarTech.
