Engineering Manager, Mobile Developer Experience

About the Team

Our team exists to empower Door Dash Mobile engineers. We are the champions of three core pillars:
Quality, Velocity, and Efficiency. Ultimately, our goal is to build the supportive infrastructure that allows our fellow engineers to build, ship, and operate apps at massive scale—with confidence and ease. We believe that a great developer experience leads to a great customer experience.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Mobile Developer Experience team (also known internally as the Mobile Foundations team). In this role, you’ll not only set the technical vision but also nurture the culture required to build world‑class mobile applications. Your team will concentrate on one vertical—Zero Kit, which enables rapid mobile prototyping via agents—and two horizontal infrastructure pillars: the iOS and Android monorepos.

You will partner with senior engineers and stakeholders across the company to design systems that make our platform faster, more reliable, and more efficient.

You will be a partner to your customers—your fellow engineers—working side‑by‑side to understand their hurdles and solve their immediate challenges. You’ll also look to the future, anticipating needs so we can deliver solutions before they become blockers. Crucially, this role will support our growing international engineering footprint and unified technology stack, meaning you and your team will work across our Door Dash, Wolt, and Deliveroo brands.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a team through a mix of exciting greenfield initiatives and the refinement of established, successful tools. You must be located in the following locations for this opportunity:
San Francisco, CA;
Sunnyvale, CA;
Seattle, WA;
Los Angeles, CA;
New York, New York.
