Engineering Manager – Drive Growth & New Bets

About The Team

DoorDash Drive is our B2B delivery platform, powering same-day and next-day fulfillment for merchants who need more than the marketplace. The Drive Growth & New Bets team owns four high-growth lines of business under Drive:

• Pizza — Reliability, efficiency, and quality programs for Pizza Hut, Domino's, and Papa Johns.
• Health — HIPAA-compliant specimen, blood-product, and pharma delivery for partners like Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, AFC Urgent Care, and WellStreet, with active negotiations across major health systems.
• Tasks (new bet) — A new 0→1 platform for Cx-app courier (peer-to-peer delivery) and Mx task dispatch (inventory restocking, point-to-point logistics).
• Fleet Management (new bet) — Self-serve dispatch and consumer tracking for merchants operating their own (1P) driver fleets; first builds going live with Pizza Hut and Hungry Howie's.

About The Role

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead this team. You'll own engineering execution across all four LOBs, partnering with Product, Analytics, BD, and Ops to scale established businesses and incubate new bets through stage-gated validation. You must be located in the Sunnyvale, CA, San Francisco, CA, or Seattle WA area for this hybrid role.

What You'll Be Excited About

• Lead a multi-disciplinary engineering team (backend, mobile, web) across multiple LOBs
• Set technical direction and architecture for established platforms (Pizza, Health) and brand-new 0→1 builds (Tasks, Fleet Management)
• Partner with Product, BD, and Ops on roadmap, GTM, and demand validation; stage-gate new-bet investments based on signal rather than executing a fixed backlog
• Hire, develop, and retain senior engineers; cultivate a strong ownership culture
• Drive reliability, HIPAA compliance, on-time delivery, and operational excellence for mission-critical merchant deliveries

What We're Excited About You

• 2+ years managing full-stack engineering teams of 8+ engineers
• 8+ years of total industry experience including hands-on engineering
• Distributed systems design and platform-scale execution experience
• Strong product intuition and comfort partnering on roadmap and strategy
• Demonstrated ability to operate with ambiguity — half the team's bets are explicitly new businesses we're incubating
• Experience leading multiple LOBs or platforms in parallel is a strong plus
