  • Execute: Operationalize an autonomous delivery platform that positively impacts each stakeholder in the DoorDash ecosystem: merchants, dashers, and consumers.
  • Analyze: Leverage insights from experiments to make data-driven decisions that inform team strategy.
  • Collaborate: Work cross-functionally with Labs software and hardware engineering teams help shape product roadmap
