Machine Learning Intern (PhD) - Summer 2027
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to parse the posting. Content: - About The Team: description of DoorDash building logistics engine, looking for ML engineer interns. This is about the team. Could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About The Team" is about the team, not role. The allowed headings list includes "About the role". Not "About the team". But we could still use
for "About the team"? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. However we should probably stick to those headings. The "About The Team" could be considered part of "About the role"? Might be okay to have a heading "About the team" but not in list. Safer to treat as part of "About the role"? But the instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but we should follow the pattern. However we need to preserve all substantive information. We could create a section with heading "About the team" using . It's not prohibited. The examples are just examples. I'd include "About the team" as a heading.
But we also have "About The Role" section: description of responsibilities, research areas, etc.
Then "You’re Excited About This Opportunity Because You Will…" which is like responsibilities or what you'll do. Could be under Responsibilities.
Then "We’re excited about you because you…" which is qualifications/requirements.
Then "Applications for this position are accepted on an ongoing basis" - minor metadata, could be short p.
Then "Compensation" section with pay ranges and equity. That's Pay.
Then benefits: description of benefits package, 401k, parental leave, etc. That's Benefits.
Then "To learn more about our benefits, visit our careers page here." maybe part of benefits.
Then "See Below For Paid Time Off Details" with details about PTO. That could be part of Benefits or separate? Could be under Benefits.
Then "The national base pay ranges for this position within the United States, including Illinois and Colorado." then pay ranges I4 I5 I6. That's Pay.
Then "About DoorDash" mission statement etc. Could be "About the team" or "About DoorDash". Might be considered "About the team" again.
Then diversity statement etc. Could be omitted as boilerplate? It's EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove the diversity and inclusion statement, statement of non-discrimination, etc. Also remove "Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance..." etc. Also remove "Notice to Applicants for Jobs Located in NYC..." etc. Also remove "Beware of recruitment scams..." etc.
Thus we keep: About The Team, About The Role, responsibilities (You’re Excited...), qualifications (We’re excited about you...), Compensation/Pay, Benefits (including benefits package and PTO details). Also maybe "Applications for this position are accepted on an ongoing basis" as a short p.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to identify lists.
In "You’re Excited About This Opportunity Because You Will…" we have bullet-like sentences separated by periods? Actually it's a paragraph with multiple sentences separated by periods but not bullet list. Could treat as
- each sentence? Might be okay but not required if not a list. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If the content is not explicitly a list (no bullet points or semicolons), we can keep as
. But we could split into list for clarity. However we must preserve all substantive information; converting to list is fine as long as we keep the same info.
Similarly "We’re excited about you because you…" has multiple criteria separated by periods. Could be list.
Benefits: list of benefits: 401(k) plan with employer matching, 16 weeks of paid parental leave, wellness benefits, commuter benefits match, paid time off and paid sick leave..., medical, dental, vision benefits, 11 paid holidays, disability and basic life insurance, family-forming assistance, mental health program, etc. That's a list.
PTO details: also could be list.
Pay: we have pay ranges I4 I5 I6. Could be list.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not needed.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.

As a Machine Learning Engineer intern at DoorDash, you’ll work on tackling new challenges in machine learning and artificial intelligence. You’ll conduct research that can be applied across DoorDash engineering teams and engage in external collaborations and mentoring, while also performing research in any of the following areas: Auction, Game theory, Recommender systems, Ranking, AdTech, Computer Vision, Causal Inference, and Big data analytics.
Responsibilities
- Use cutting-edge research in ML/AI, NLP, RecSys, Ranking, Computer Vision, Causal Inference, Ad Tech, Graph analysis to solve real-world problems across discovery, ads, forecasting, fulfillment and search experiences at DoorDash.

- Experience in research and solving analytical problems.
- Strong communicator and team player.
- Passion for applied ML and the DoorDash product.
- Ideally have worked on publications in machine learning, AI, data science, data analytics, statistics, or related technical fields.
Applications for this position are accepted on an ongoing basis.
Pay
- Base salary is localized according to work location; market‑dependent ranges may be modified in the future.
- National base pay ranges for this position within the United States (including Illinois and Colorado):
- I4: $130,600—$192,000 USD
- I5: $159,800—$235,000 USD
- I6: $193,800—$285,000 USD
- In addition to base salary, the compensation includes opportunities for equity grants.
Benefits
- 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)

- 11 paid holidays
- Disability and basic life insurance
- Family-forming assistance
- Mental health program
- 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 (≈6.7 hours/month at 40 h/wk, ≈3.4 hours/month at 20 h/wk); paid sick time accrued at 1 hour for every 30 hours worked (≈5.8 hours/month at 40 h/wk, ≈2.9 hours/month at 20 h/wk).
We need to ensure no duplicate or boilerplate. We removed diversity statement, EEO, scam warnings, etc.
Check that we didn't include any heading like "About DoorDash" mission statement. That could be considered boilerplate? It's about company mission; maybe we could keep as part of About the team? But we already have About the team. The mission statement is generic; could be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about company mission. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The mission statement is not explicitly listed as boilerplate; it's about DoorDash. Might be okay to keep. However we already have About the team describing the team; the mission statement is about DoorDash overall. Could be considered part of About the team or maybe a separate section "About DoorDash". But the allowed headings list does not include that. Safer to omit to avoid adding extra section not requested. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can omit the mission statement to keep fewer sections.
Thus we have sections: About the team, About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. That's six sections.
Check that we didn't miss any substantive info: The "We offer a 12-week summer internship program in our San Francisco, Sunnyvale, New York, or Seattle offices." That's important; we missed that. Should be included somewhere, maybe under About the role or About the team. Let's add a sentence in About the role or About the team. Probably under About the role: mention location and duration.
Add to About the role paragraph: "We offer a 12-week summer internship program in our San Francisco, Sunnyvale, New York, or Seattle offices."
Also we missed "You’re Excited About This Opportunity Because You Will…" we turned into Responsibilities. Good.
Also we missed "We’re excited about you because you…" turned into Qualifications.
Also we missed "Applications for this position are accepted on an ongoing basis" we added as p.
