Product Design Manager

About the Team

At DoorDash, design means making experiences for the people who order, the people who prepare, and the people who deliver.

As a Design Manager at DoorDash, you want to build things that matter to real people. You're at your best when you can move from idea to shipped product quickly, bringing experiences to life that reach and influence users at massive scale. You'll care about whether the product you make solved a real problem for real people, or changed how someone experiences their day.

You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with Engineering and Product Management, dig into the data, and use LLM-powered tools alongside traditional design tools. If the LLM powered tools don’t exist yet, you build them.

About the Role

Trust is the foundation of every interaction on DoorDash. We're looking for a design leader who can define and drive a vision for designing for integrity at scale. In this role, you will join the Integrity organization. You’ll lead a team of designers working across fraud prevention, trust, safety, and compliance — protecting millions of consumers, Dashers, and merchants while keeping the platform seamless and trustworthy. You will report into the Head of Design for our Customer Experience & Integrity organization. This role is hybrid- 1–2 days per week in one of our Design Hubs.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Set the technical direction for Design across your product area — decide what gets built, in what order, and why; connect multiple teams around shared platforms so the work compounds instead of duplicating
• Work on ambiguous problems and turn them into architecture decisions and working systems that teams actually use; earn trust with leadership not through decks, but through prototypes and shipped code that make your point for you
• Stay close to the code and the craft across multiple projects at once — you're not just reviewing, you're building; the work you ship will move real metrics across the product area, not just the team you sit with
• Build the design systems, component libraries, and AI-powered tooling that your product area runs on — prompt libraries, eval pipelines, design-to-code workflows — and make sure people actually use them by writing clear docs, onboarding teams, and iterating based on real feedback
• Hold a high bar for both design and code — your prototypes should be production-ready, not throwaway; spot product opportunities that others miss and help the people around you get sharper at knowing what to build and why
• Grow the team around you — mentor senior designers and managers, help close strong hires, and shape the kind of environment where design engineers do their best work 

We’re excited about you because…

• You have a portfolio or repo of work that shows you can design and build at a high level, not just one or the other
• You build in code as naturally as you design — React, TypeScript, or similar frameworks are tools you think in, not things you're learning; you reach for Cursor, Claude, or similar tools to move faster and build things you wouldn't attempt by hand
• You've set direction across a product area before and your influence comes from what you ship, not what you present — people adopt your tools because they're good, not because you told them to
• You care about leverage: you'd rather build a system that makes 20 people faster than ship one great feature yourself
• You have a background in high-growth consumer tech, complex marketplace products, or platform/infrastructure teams where you built tools and systems adopted across multiple teams
