About the Team
DoorDash is looking for an Engineering Manager with strong product sense to lead the Drive Growth organization within DoorDash Drive, with a focus on healthcare and catering / large-order deliveries.
Drive Growth builds and scales new delivery solutions for high-stakes use cases where reliability, compliance, and white-glove service matter most. On the healthcare side, the team powers deliveries like diagnostic specimens and medical supplies end-to-end—from onboarding and training specialized Dashers, to supporting multi-stop routes, to building flows that meet strict healthcare privacy and safety requirements. On the catering and large-order side, the team designs and operates experiences for big, time-sensitive orders, ensuring the right Dashers are assigned, pickups and drop-offs go smoothly, and merchants and customers have clear visibility throughout.
The team partners closely with Product, Operations, and our Health and Enterprise partners to improve on-time performance, reduce delivery defects, and unlock new revenue in these complex verticals. Drive Growth is a full-stack organization spanning backend, frontend, and mobile engineering.
