Job description

About the Role

At DoorDash we are redefining what it means to be a designer. We are building towards a team of makers, builders, and doers. Between 2005 and 2015, "web designer" became "product designer" and the scope widened. The same shift is happening now — LLMs are expanding the T again, toward strategy on one end and direct execution on the other. As a Staff Product Designer, you will lead this shift across your team: not just practicing build-first design, but multiplying it through the people and systems around you.

We're seeking an ambitious and system design minded Staff Product Designer to lead “Meals for Work” within DoorDash for Business, a strategic area at the heart of redefining workplace dining and company perks. You’ll craft transformative consumer and enterprise experiences, from tools that make team lunch ordering effortless to scalable solutions for catering, company paid recurring meals, and grocery benefits. This role offers a unique opportunity to design powerful systems that help workplace admins plan, manage, and operate food programs with confidence, while pioneering new offerings in an evolving market.

This position is open for candidates in San Francisco, Seattle, or New York City, and will report to the Head of New Bets Design within our Consumer organization. You will work in a hybrid model, working from one of our offices 1-2 times a week with the rest working from home.

Your primary impact is making the team faster and more autonomous. You build reusable workflows, shared tools, and decision frameworks that let every designer on your team operate at a higher level with less coordination overhead. Your secondary impact is revenue: the speed and quality gains you unlock translate directly into more experiments shipped, faster iteration cycles, and measurable business outcomes across your team and adjacent teams.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will...

• 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
