About the Team

DoorDash Labs is an independent team within DoorDash. We explore robotics and automation to transform last-mile logistics in the long term. If you have a passion for applying autonomous aviation technologies in a service used by millions of people, then we want to talk to you!

About the Role

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of drone delivery by:

• Using SQL and dashboards to analyze data, monitor trends, and proactively flag areas needing attention
• Managing a small team and setting the standard for reliable, high-quality execution
• Collaborating with product, engineering, support, and external partners to pilot tools, streamline workflows, and lay the foundation for scale
• Helping define how we launch and grow—contributing to playbooks, systems, and strategic decisions
• Traveling up to 20% of the time

This is a hybrid role based in the Bay Area. Regular in-person collaboration with cross-functional partners is required to shape product direction, test workflows, and accelerate decision-making.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Shape how we define, evaluate, and expand new service areas to ensure strong operational performance
• Identify patterns in site workflows that inform process improvements and tooling decisions
• Support launch readiness across key locations, enabling seamless day-to-day operations
• Build and lead a small team responsible for geographic labeling and service area maintenance
• Use SQL and dashboards to monitor performance, drive insight, and guide continuous improvement

We’re excited about you because…

• You Get Operations: You’ve run or supported live ops and know how to keep things moving—even when they’re messy
• You Use Data to Drive Action: You're confident in SQL and use data to diagnose problems, prioritize work, and guide decisions
• You Build for Scale: You don’t just patch issues—you think about how things should work at 10x the volume
• You’re Curious About Autonomy: You’re excited about new technologies and want to help shape how they’re used in the real world
• You Lead with Clarity: You’ve managed people or coached teams and know how to align others and drive strong execution
• You Move Fast—and Bring Others With You: You’re action-oriented, collaborative, and know how to keep cross-functional partners in sync
• You Understand the Airspace—or Want To: You’re interested in how drone delivery fits into real-world regulations and logistics. You don’t need to be a pilot, but a willingness to learn the basics (like what Part 107 is) helps.
