Our New Verticals team is on a mission to deliver selection, quality, and value to our customers across grocery, convenience, alcohol, retail, and other emerging lines of business. This team will drive the evolution of DoorDash from a restaurant delivery app to enabling access to everything your neighborhood has to offer. We are at the early stage of this transformation and looking for designers to help shape the path we take.
About the RoleWhat if everything in your city — from groceries to all your favorite retail stores — could be shopped and delivered seamlessly through one app? Our team is building a new shopping experience for local commerce by allowing customers to buy items across their city – regardless of the merchant – and get it all delivered in a single, unified experience. Our goal is to make shopping on DoorDash not just more convenient than in-person shopping, but faster, smarter, and more affordable.
