Engineering Manager, DoorDash for Business

DoorDash USA•Sunnyvale, CA

3d•$193,800 - $285,000•Hybrid

About The Position

DoorDash for Business is how companies feed their people. We build the products that let a company run a recurring team lunch, give every employee a meal budget, cater an event or meeting and manage all of it through a single corporate account - across every brand and every market DoorDash operates in. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team in DoorDash for Business. Our domain runs from the moment an order is placed to everything a company needs to administer it: high-complexity ordering for catering, recurring team meals, and group orders; the admin portal, identity, and member management that companies run their account on; budgets and policy enforcement; and the expense and travel integrations that connect us to our customers' finance systems. You'll own a pod of 8-10 engineers with a critical charter inside that domain, real revenue attached to it, and close partnership with Product, Design, and Sales Strategy & Operations. You must be located in the Seattle, San Francisco, Sunnyvale, or New York Metro Area for this hybrid position.

Requirements

2+ years managing engineers (including hiring and performance management) on top of a strong track record as a senior individual contributor.
Shipped and operated production systems at scale - you're comfortable in the architecture conversation and can hold your own with your most senior engineer.
Led work spanning multiple teams or geographies, and you know how to build trust with a pod you don't sit next to.
Set direction under ambiguity. You can take a broad charter, decompose it into a roadmap, and say no to the things that don't matter this half.
Own outcomes, not output - you measure your team by customer and business impact, and you're fluent talking about both.
Care about craft and operational excellence: testing, observability, on-call load, and paying down the debt that slows a team.
Communicate clearly with non-engineering partners - Product, Design, Sales, Operations, Finance.

Responsibilities

Own a business-critical charter end to end - set technical direction, define the roadmap with your PM and Business counterparts, and be accountable for what ships and how well it runs.
Build and grow a team - Hire, level up, and retain engineers; set the bar for what good looks like on your pod; give people work that stretches them.
Work on a genuinely global product - Your charter serves the US alongside EMEA, LATAM, and APAC, with partner pods in India, Helsinki, and Brazil. You'll help decide what's built once globally versus what needs regional variation and build the partnerships across time zones to make that stick.
Take on real architectural weight - Consolidating onto one global stack means untangling parallel implementations, drawing clean service-ownership lines, and making migration calls with production traffic on them.
Raise the operational bar - Corporate orders happen at lunch, in every time zone, with no room for a bad day. You'll own on-call health, incident response, and the reliability investments that make both sustainable.
Partner directly with the go-to-market side - Sales and business partners bring you enterprise customer needs constantly; you'll help decide what's a platform capability versus a one-off, and you'll be in the room for it.
