DoorDash is one of the world's most trusted on-demand logistics platforms.

We manage risk and create value through agility, technology, and a people-first approach. Our DoorDash, Deliveroo, and Wolt brands now span more than 40 countries, dozens of offices, and tens of thousands of employees.

About the Role
We are hiring a Critical Incident Response Agent, a proactive, prevention-oriented specialist who is on the ground keeping our offices and people safe. As a member of the Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) within Global Safety and Security, you help assess sites and close gaps, prepare people, build local response capability, and serve as the on-site responder when something goes wrong. You help drive site risk assessment and remediation across physical access controls, surveillance, and procedures. You support on-site access and guest management. You support the establishment and help lead site Emergency Response Teams (ERTs). You coordinate closely with the Global Operations Center (GOC), which maintains global situational awareness, provides operational overwatch, and leads incident management around the clock.

It is on-site and field-based across your assigned locations, with availability for after-hours, weekend, and holiday operations and response.

Respond as the first qualified responder. Serve as the on-site responder and incident commander for natural, human-made, and medical emergencies. Maintain and apply advanced medical certification, act decisively in the critical first minutes, and hand off cleanly to first responders. You are the reason an incident stays small.
Build local emergency response capability. Help stand up and certify site-level ERTs, publish and maintain Emergency Response Plans, and run regular drills and tabletop exercises in coordination with the GOC. Aid in establishing and maintaining working relat
