real lift in conversion and order rate for millions of consumers
DoorDash is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Discovery Experience team, which owns the Homepage - DoorDash's front door.
It's the first screen millions of consumers see every day, and since every session starts there, it's the highest-leverage surface in the consumer funnel: a more personalized recommendation, a faster render, or a cleaner layout can move the metrics the whole company watches.
The Homepage spans restaurants, grocery, and emerging verticals across iOS, Android, and Web.
We're rebuilding it around LLM-generated recommendations, shifting discovery from static, rules-based feeds to generative, intent-driven experiences that respond to real-time signals in the moment.

In keeping with our beliefs and goals, no employee or applicant will face discrimination or harassment based on: race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital/domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability status, or veteran status.
Above and beyond discrimination and harassment based on "protected categories," we also strive to prevent other subtler forms of inappropriate behavior (i.e., stereotyping) from ever gaining a foothold in our office.
Whether blatant or hidden, barriers to success have no place at DoorDash.
We value a diverse workforce - people who identify as women, non-binary or gender non-conforming, LGBTQIA+, American Indian or Native Alaskan, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, differently-abled, caretakers and parents, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.
