About the Role At DoorDash we are redefining what it means to be a designer. We are building towards a team of makers, builders, and doers. Between 2005 and 2015, "web designer" became "product designer" and the scope widened.

As a Staff Product Designer, you will lead this shift across your team: not just practicing build-first design, but multiplying it through the people and systems around you. We're seeking an ambitious and system design minded Staff Product Designer to lead “Meals for Work” within DoorDash for Business , a strategic area at the heart of redefining workplace dining and company perks. You’ll craft transformative consumer and enterprise experiences, from tools that make team lunch ordering effortless to scalable solutions for catering, company paid recurring meals, and grocery benefits. This role offers a unique opportunity to design powerful systems that help workplace admins plan, manage, and operate food programs with confidence, while pioneering new offerings in an evolving market.
