About DoorDash

At DoorDash, we’re on a mission to empower local economies — and that mission drives everything we do. What started as food delivery has evolved into a technology and logistics platform designed to help people access anything in their city, from meals to everyday essentials. We’re building the future of local commerce, and we’re looking for team members excited to be part of that journey.

Joining DoorDash means working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where your ideas can shape products, impact millions of users, and help merchants, Dashers, and customers thrive. We value creativity, ownership, and continuous learning — and we’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone can grow their careers while making a real difference.

We also care deeply about our team’s well-being. DoorDash offers comprehensive benefits, including premium healthcare, paid parental leave, wellness reimbursements, and more — because we believe that when our people thrive, our communities thrive too.

About the Team

The NV Retail Team plays a critical role in scaling DoorDash's shopping experience for retail customers. We are iOS, Android, web, and backend engineers working with cross functional partners on retail categories like Apparel, Electronics, Beauty, Pets, and many others, iterating and expanding on top of DoorDash's platform.

The team focuses on building features on the shopping surfaces for customers to browse, explore, and see details of retail products, giving users the right level of information they need to make the decision of purchasing an item on the platform. We want to build the best shopping experience that is tailored for each of the categories we sell, while still defining standards across the app for how we merchandise those items.

This is a great opportunity to join a team that is growing and that has a direct impact on the growth of the company.
