About the Team

On the Merchant Strategy & Operations team, our mission is to have best-in class selection, build modern services for our merchants to grow their business, and help our partners operate. Our Partner Integrations team works with our Merchants to integrate their tech stack with DoorDash (e.g. integrating with the merchant's system(s) to improve operational efficiency for our merchants and order quality for our consumers). The team has grown tremendously, evolving from purely serving US restaurants as customers to servicing an integrations platform for DoorDash across markets beyond restaurants and across all our international markets.
