Job description

About the Team

At DoorDash, design means making experiences for the people who order, the people who prepare, and the people who deliver.

As a Designer at DoorDash, you want to build things that matter to real people. You're at your best when you can move from idea to shipped product quickly, bringing experiences to life that reach and influence users at massive scale. You'll care about whether the product you make solved a real problem for real people, or changed how someone experiences their day.

About the Role

In this role, you'll join the Core Dasher team within our Dasher organization, focused on one of DoorDash's highest-priority challenges: growing and retaining Dasher supply. The team works across Growth and Financial Products to identify new ways to create value for Dashers, including exploring how Crimson, financial incentives, and financial wellness offerings can become meaningful growth levers. You'll help lead 0→1 opportunities from strategy through launch, partnering across Product, Engineering, Data Science, Marketing, and Finance to build experiences that can scale across the U.S. and international markets.

You will report to the Head of the Core Dasher team within our Dasher organization. We operate in a hybrid model, with 1-2 days per week in one of our Design Hubs in San Francisco or New York City.

You'll do this

• Define projects with a clear point of view on what to build, writing briefs that synthesize business and customer inputs into roadmap milestones; balance customer needs, business goals, and feasibility to shape what your team builds and why
• Bring clarity to ambiguous, cross-team problems and turn them into actionable work that ships; drive prioritization across your team and adjacent teams, making tradeoffs between design quality, speed, and impact so the highest-leverage work moves first
• Shape key projects from concept through execution - staying close enough to resolve issues during iteration, guiding design direction, and shipping work that drives measurable outcomes across multiple teams; produce high-fidelity designs and production-ready prototypes that set the craft standard for the team
• Design solutions spanning multiple workflows and contribute to shared tools - prompt libraries, component generators, workflow automations - that improve productivity across teams; mentor peers on responsible AI use and contribute reusable frameworks adopted beyond your own team
• Build trusted relationships across your team and adjacent product teams, influencing their roadmaps through evidence-based thinking and live prototypes that make your recommendations concrete; pursue consistent self-improvement and flex into raising team outcomes
• Multiply team capacity through mentorship, recruiting, and inclusive practices that raise the bar across your product group

We're excited about you because

• You have a portfolio that shows projects that demonstrate craft excellence, systems thinking, and leadership through influence
• You reach for code editors and LLM-powered tools as naturally as design tools, prototyping in production and contributing meaningfully to the codebase
• You influence, design, and build solutions that work across teams and workflows
• You enjoy navigating unclear problems across multiple teams and create clarity through shipped artifacts, not slide decks
• You have a background in high-growth consumer tech or complex marketplace products
