About this role
About the Team
At DoorDash we’re building the industry’s most scalable and reliable delivery network to support our three-sided marketplace of consumers, merchants, and dashers. TPMs on our Engineering teams provide fundamental support to the underlying technology services as well as the engineers building these services. It’s no simple task, but it wouldn’t be interesting if it was!
About the Role
New Verticals is building the future of local commerce at DoorDash: making the city shoppable by helping consumers get groceries, convenience items, retail products, and more with the quality, speed, and affordability they expect. The organization operates at significant scale and is expanding beyond the core marketplace into new fulfillment models and merchant-facing products. Our work spans the consumer shopping experience, catalog and inventory, pricing and affordability, fulfillment, merchant integrations, and the platform capabilities that connect them.
Our team is looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead complex, high-impact programs across New Verticals Engineering. This role sits at the intersection of product, platform, and operations, helping translate ambitious business bets into executable technical strategies. You will work across Grocery, Convenience, Retail, DashMart Fulfillment Services, and emerging Merchant Services initiatives, where success requires navigating deeply interconnected systems, evolving product requirements, and dependencies across multiple DoorDash organizations. You will bring strong technical judgment, create clarity in ambiguous spaces, identify risks before they become blockers, and drive programs from strategy through launch and scale.
You will report into the centralized Technical Program Management team in Engineering. You must be located in either the San Francisco Bay Area or Seattle.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will…
• Drive New Verticals' Most Strategic Programs - You will partner closely with Engineering and Product leadership, Strategy & Operations, and cross-functional teams to turn New Verticals' strategy into executable technical programs. The portfolio spans growing Grocery and Convenience, scaling Retail selection and shopping experiences, evolving DashMart Fulfillment Services, and building new Merchant Services capabilities.
• Lead Complex Cross-Organization Execution - New Verticals depends on capabilities across consumer experience, catalog and inventory, pricing and promotions, logistics, merchant integrations, ads, and platform infrastructure. You will establish clear ownership and milestones, surface critical dependencies and tradeoffs, and drive alignment across teams when the path forward is not obvious.
• Bring Technical Depth and Systems Thinking - You will develop a deep understanding of the architecture, data flows, and operational systems behind New Verticals. You will engage in technical designs, identify scaling and reliability risks,
