The Discovery Experience team owns the most visited pages within the Doordash consumer application: the home page, and vertical pages, including the global app navigation.

Most of the orders are placed from these pages as well, so the impact and visibility of this team is high. The area is quite complex with a dedicated full stack team, including backend engineers and client engineers working on Web/IOS/Android.
