Studio Central Product Designer

DoorDash•San Francisco, NY

About The Position

DoorDash is hiring for Studio Central, a new Product Design team at the intersection of product, brand, and innovation. The global team supports DoorDash, Wolt, Deliveroo, and 7Rooms, partnering with Marketing and Product to shape cohesive, high-quality product experiences and help define design foundations and future direction across the portfolio. Its work includes major brand moments, merchandising, and the systems that connect them. The team's systems and standards are still being developed, giving everyone an opportunity to influence the craft bar, standards, and working practices. The role focuses primarily on craft and output: shipping high-quality, on-brand work across campaigns, seasonal moments, and merchandising, with autonomy to own projects and craft decisions from concept through production-ready delivery. The designer will also contribute to raising the expression bar across the portfolio through strong work and craft feedback to peers. The role calls for a build-first approach, using AI-native tools and code to move quickly from ideas to shipped work, developing prototypes, and collaborating effectively with engineering. The team works in a hybrid model, spending 1–2 days at a Design Hub and the rest working from home.

Requirements

A portfolio demonstrating strong, considered visual craft, systems thinking, or brand work at a senior level.
Comfort moving between art-direction tools such as Figma and Illustrator and shipping in code, or actively closing that gap.
A willingness to experiment with new tools and techniques through hands-on attempts.
Experience giving craft feedback to other designers, formally or informally, and helping them improve.
A track record of shipping ambiguous briefs to a high standard without heavy oversight.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end visual craft for brand moments, campaigns, and merchandising pushes, from concept through shipped, production-ready work.
Mentor other designers as needed by sharing craft feedback and helping them build range, without formal authority over their work.
Help build and pressure-test design systems, component libraries, and AI-powered tooling; propose initial versions or test and improve others’ work.
Influence Product, Marketing, and creative stakeholders by bringing a strong point of view and supporting it with working prototypes.
Work across the full workflow, from rough concept to production-ready execution, and hand off cleanly to engineering.
Contribute to the standards, rituals, and craft expectations being established for Studio Central.
