It’s the first screen millions of consumers see every day, and since every session starts there, it’s the highest-leverage surface in the consumer funnel: a more personalized recommendation, a faster render, or a cleaner layout can move the metrics the whole company watches.</p> <p>The Homepage spans restaurants, grocery, and emerging verticals across iOS, Android, and Web. We’re rebuilding it around LLM-generated recommendations, shifting discovery from static, rules-based feeds to generative, intent-driven experiences that respond to real-time signals in the moment.</p> <h2><strong>About the Role</strong></h2> <p>You will lead and grow a team of product-focused full stack engineers, owning both the product and technical direction for the discovery surface - deciding where discovery goes next and how it’s built. You’ll set the roadmap and drive execution alongside Product, Design, Data Science, and ML/Recommendation Platform partners, and you’ll own the quality, velocity, and consumer impact your team ships. It’s a role with real ownership and the room to grow both the product and the team behind it.</p> <h2><strong>You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…</strong></h2> <ul> <li>Own the Homepage end to end, the highest-traffic surface at DoorDash and where every consumer session begins</li> <li>Turn Homepage bets into company-level outcomes: real lift in conversion and order rate for millions of consumers</li> <li>Define discovery quality for DoorDash: getting the right store, restaurant, or item in front of the right consumer at the right moment</li> <li>Ship LLM-gen recommendations and intent-aware discovery that route consumers to the right experience across food, grocery, retail, and emerging verticals</li> <li>Partner across Product, Design, Data Science, and ML/Recommendation Platform teams to shape the discovery roadmap and ship the experiences behind it</li> <li>Build an inclusive, high-performing team by coaching engineers, supporting career growth, and scaling the org as impact grows</li> <li>Drive product velocity while holding a high bar for reliability, performance, and user experience</li> <li>Architect the backend systems and APIs that assemble a fast, personalized Homepage across iOS, Android, and Web</li> </ul> <h2><strong>We’re excited about you because…</strong></h2> <ul> <li>You have a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science or equivalent</li> <li>You have 7+ years of industry experience, including minimum of 2 years of management experience</li> <li>You have experience managing engineering disciplines across BE + Android + iOS + Web</li> <li>You bring in strong product sense and can be a thought partner with cross-functional peers</li> <li>You have hands-on experience working with non-technical stakeholders, cross-team collaboration, and building scalable products in a fast-paced environment</li> <li>You have the ability to handle ambiguity and work with product and business partners to collect non-technical requirements to design and build scalable experience solutions</li> <li>You have the ability to guide and grow an excellent engineering team in a rapidly changing business environment</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-weight: 500;">Notice to Applicants for Jobs Located in NYC or Remote Jobs Associated With Office in NYC Only</p> <p>We use Covey as part of our hiring and/or promotional process for jobs in NYC and certain features may qual
