About the position
Our New Verticals team is on a mission to deliver selection, quality, and value to our customers across grocery, convenience, alcohol, retail, and other emerging lines of business. This team will drive the evolution of DoorDash from a restaurant delivery app to enabling access to everything your neighborhood has to offer.
