DoorDash · Sunnyvale, CA · Yesterday
OTHR$269k–$395k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the team, About the role, Responsibilities? Actually the posting includes "About The Team", "About The Role", then bullet points under "You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…" and "We’re excited about you because you have…". Also "Compensation", "Benefits". Also "About DoorDash", "Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion", etc. But we must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out sections like "About DoorDash", "Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion", "Statement of Non-Discrimination", "Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance", "Notice to Applicants for Jobs Located in NYC...", "Beware of recruitment scams". Also "To learn more about our benefits, visit our careers page here." and "See Below For Paid Time Off Details". Also "Compensation" section includes description; we need to keep compensation details: base salary range and equity mention. Also "Benefits" section: we need to keep benefits details: 401(k) with employer matching, 16 weeks paid parental leave, wellness benefits, commuter benefits match, paid time off and paid sick leave, medical/dental/vision, 11 paid holidays, disability and basic life insurance, family-forming assistance, mental health program. Also Paid Time Off details: flexible PTO/vacation plus 80 hours sick time per year (for salaried). Also hourly details maybe not needed as role is salaried? But we can include both? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The posting does have compensation and benefits specifics, so we include those sections. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "Director of Technical Program Management". Not to repeat. We need headings:

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide which sections to include: About The Team, About The Role, Responsibilities? The "You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…" could be considered Responsibilities. The "We’re excited about you because you have…" could be Requirements/Qualifications. Also maybe "Skills". We'll map. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the bullet points exactly as they appear (maybe rephrase? but must preserve content). We'll convert each bullet into

  • . We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. About The Team paragraph: "DoorDash’s centralized, global TPM organization helps Engineering deliver the company’s most complex and consequential technical, product, and business transformations. The team spans DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo and partners across a global Engineering organization of approximately 4,000 engineers. We have intentionally built a lean, high-leverage TPM organization with a high bar for technical depth, business judgment, and independent domain ownership. Our leaders stay close to the business and technical work, lead through strong senior IC TPMs, and shape the operating mechanisms that allow complex organizations to execute at speed. This Director will lead 12 TPMs (one-quarter of the global TPM organization) and report directly to the VP of Engineering Operations. Their team supports nearly 1,300 engineers across five strategically important organizations: Dasher & Logistics, Ads & Promotions, Merchant, DashOS, and Platform Services." That's prose. About The Role paragraph: "As Director of Technical Program Management, you will lead a high-performing team of TPMs embedded across some of DoorDash’s most important and technically complex businesses. Your portfolio spans the real-time fulfillment network that powers every delivery, a multi-billion dollar ads revenue platform, DoorDash’s merchant ecosystem and in-store technology, and platforms that enable merchants and other businesses to access our logistics network through offerings such as Drive and Parcels. You will partner closely with a VP and four Senior Directors to set direction, strengthen execution, develop TPM talent, and solve the cross-organizational challenges that sit between teams, systems, and business priorities. You will also play a central role in Pedregal, DoorDash’s multi-year global platform re-architecture across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo while maintaining production availability and continuing to build for each business’ evolving requirements. We believe the future of TPM leadership is defined by leverage, not layers. This role is for a forward-looking leader who can develop an intentionally lean, high-performing team, use AI to amplify its impact, and shape strategy and organizational capability while remaining meaningfully connected to the work. You must be located near San Francisco, CA, Sunnyvale, CA, or Seattle, WA for this hybrid position." That's prose. Then bullet list under "You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…": - Lead and develop 12 TPMs supporting nearly 1,300 engineers across five strategic engineering organizations. - Partner with senior Engineering and Product leaders to shape portfolio strategy, investment tradeoffs, technical sequencing, risk management, and organizational operating models. - Help scale DoorDash’s core delivery network; accelerate the next several billion dollars of Ads growth; build the merchant operating system; and expand access to DoorDash logistics through Drive and Parcels. - Establish durable mechanisms for execution, technical readiness, decision-making, and cross-functional alignment across highly interdependent organizations. - Develop exceptional TPM talent and create an environment where senior ICs can own broad, strategic scope and serve as trusted partners to Engineering leadership. - Help define the next evolution of a modern TPM organization, identifying the strategic initiatives, technical transformations, and organizational capabilities where AI-enabled ways of working can increase the pace and quality of execution. Then bullet list under "We’re excited about you because you have…": - 12+ years of TPM experience, including 7+ years leading TPM teams. You have demonstrated success leading a team that supports a broad, complex technical portfolio in a high-growth technology company. - Deep commitment to developing talent and building culture within your team, setting a high bar for technical depth, ownership, sound judgment, and independent execution. You hire, coach, and promote strong TPMs who are technical leaders, focus on outcomes over process, and consistently deliver business value while improving engineering efficiency and collaboration. - The technical and business judgment to identify and align your team to the highest-impact opportunities as well as make thoughtful investment and sequencing tradeoffs. - The technical credibility to engage with Engineering leaders on architecture, platform migrations, system dependencies, reliability, and risk, while translating that complexity into clear decisions and execution plans. - A track record of leading large-scale, multi-year transformations that require alignment across multiple organizations, systems, products, and stakeholders. - A strategic mindset that shapes how engineering delivers. You consistently identify and resolve ambiguous business, technical, operational, and organizational issues. You also build these capabilities in your team and your stakeholders. - An instinct for building durable operating mechanisms rather than relying on personal heroics: clear ownership, decision forums, execution cadences, risk management, and accountability. - Exceptional communication and influence skills. You build trust with your TPM peers and with senior engineering leaders, surface difficult issues directly, create clarity in ambiguity, and align teams around shared outcomes. - Curiosity and practical fluency with AI-enabled ways of working, with a point of view on how technology can improve execution and unlock new strategic possibilities. - Experience operating effectively with globally distributed teams and across different organizational cultures, time zones, and business contexts. Then Compensation section: Paragraph: "The successful candidate’s starting pay will fall within the pay range listed below and is determined based on job-related factors including, but not limited to, skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. Base salary is localized according to an employee’s work location. Ranges are market-dependent and may be modified in the future. In addition to base salary, the compensation for this role includes opportunities for equity grants. Talk to your recruiter for more information." Then benefits paragraph: "DoorDash cares about you and your overall well-being. That’s why we offer a comprehensive benefits package to all regular employees, which includes a 401(k) plan with employer matching, 16 weeks of paid parental leave, wellness benefits, commuter benefits match, paid time off and paid sick leave in compliance with applicable laws (e.g. Colorado Healthy Families and Workplaces Act). DoorDash also offers medical, dental, and vision benefits, 11 paid holidays, disability and basic life insurance, family-forming assistance, and a mental health program, among others. To learn more about our benefits, visit our careers page here." Then Paid Time Off details: "See Below For Paid Time Off Details For salaried roles: flexible paid time off/vacation, plus 80 hours of paid sick time per year.For hourly roles: vacation accrued at about 1 hour for every 25.97 hours worked (e.g. about 6.7 hours/month if working 40 hours/week; about 3.4 hours/month if working 20 hours/week), and paid sick time accrued at 1 hour for every 30 hours worked (e.g. about 5.8 hours/month if working 40 hours/week; about 2.9 hours/month if working 20 hours/week)." Then pay range: "The national base pay range for this position within the United States, including Illinois and Colorado. $268,600—$395,000 USD" We need to include Pay section with that range. Also maybe Benefits section includes details. We must not include boilerplate like "About DoorDash", "Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion", etc. Also remove "To learn more about our benefits, visit our careers page here."? That's part of benefits paragraph but maybe considered boilerplate? It's a link to careers page; could be considered application instruction? It's not exactly application instruction but maybe we can keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The line "To learn more about our benefits, visit our careers page here." is not exactly application instruction but could be considered navigation? Might be safe to remove. However we need to preserve substantive information; that line is not substantive about benefits; it's a pointer. We can drop it. Similarly "See Below For Paid Time Off Details" maybe heading? We'll incorporate details directly. We need to avoid duplication: The benefits paragraph already mentions paid time off and paid sick leave; then we have details. We'll keep both. Now structure:
