About the Role
DoorDash is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a confidential project.

Over the past twelve months, the Platform Innovation team, within the Launch Pad organization, has found strong momentum with an emerging product. This year, we've assembled a strong cross-functional, entrepreneurial team (lead Designer, lead Product Manager, and General Manager) to take the product to the next level – all that's left is to hire an engineering leader. We're looking for a leader locally based in Toronto who can commute to the office upon hire.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will…

Collaborate with Product Managers, Business leaders, and key stakeholders to determine the team's roadmap and vision, and manage execution against that roadmap
Navigate ambiguity in a fast-changing business environment
Provide architectural guidance and professional development for a team of 9+
Encourage innovation, teamwork, implementation of cutting-edge technologies, and outside-of-the-box thinking
Oversee the hiring process for your team, in partnership with recruiting, to grow a diverse and inclusive team
We're excited about you because you have…
BS, M.S., or PhD. in Computer Science or related field
3+ years of experience in people management leading full-stack teams (backend, web, & mobile) of 8+ engineers
8+ years of industry experience
Extensive experience as an engineer in a fast-paced, product-focused development environment
Experience with distributed system design, system scaling, and performance optimization
Familiarity with Android app development best practices
Hands-on leadership and strong product intuition
Humility - willing to get into the details and open to feedback
Growth mindset - you're eager to expand your skill set and excited to carve out your career path in a hyper-growth setting
Adaptability, resiliency, and ability to thrive in ambiguity - things can change quickly, and you'll need to help the team evolve
