Engineering Manager
DoorDash
Runs apps for local food and grocery delivery
DoorDash is building the world's most reliable on-demand logistics engine for delivery! We're looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Trust & Safety team in our São Paulo engineering hub to lead a team that builds the systems keeping DoorDash's marketplace safe and trustworthy for consumers, merchants, and dashers worldwide.
Trust & Safety Engineering is responsible for protecting every interaction on the DoorDash platform — from the moment a user signs up to every message, transaction, and delivery that follows. Our systems process millions of events in real-time, using multiple layers of AI and machine learning to detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and harmful content at scale.
As DoorDash expands across 40+ countries and multiple business lines — including food delivery, grocery, convenience, and package delivery — we are rebuilding our safety platform from the ground up to serve all companies in the DoorDash group globally, covering a massive variety of use cases that go well beyond traditional safety:
This is a platform problem, not a feature problem. And that's what makes it one of the most technically interesting challenges at DoorDash.
Quick Fact: the Trust & Safety team achieved a significant reduction in post-delivery safety incidents by using AI to monitor conversations between consumers and dashers — protecting thousands of users from seeing inappropriate messages on their phones each year.

You will lead a team of engineers responsible for the design, evolution, and operation of DoorDash's Trust & Safety platform. Your focus will be on building the next generation of safety systems — a global, multi-product, multi-language moderation and enforcement platform that serves the entire DoorDash ecosystem.
You will partner closely with Product, Design, Data Science, Legal, and Strategy & Operations to define and deliver a roadmap that integrates AI-driven decisions, real-time content moderation, and robust policy enforcement into high-volume production systems. This platform directly influences user safety, regulatory compliance, and platform integrity. You will own both the technical direction and operational excellence required to run it at scale.
This is not about executing a roadmap from HQ — it's about co-creating the technical strategy and building the team that will own it.

DoorDash runs apps that let people order restaurant meals, groceries, and other goods from local businesses, which independent couriers called Dashers bring to their doors. In 2019 it overtook Grubhub to become the largest food delivery service in the United States, and it later expanded abroad by buying Finland's Wolt and Britain's Deliveroo. Merchants pay DoorDash a fee on each order and can buy ads in its apps, while customers pay delivery and service fees or join DashPass, a subscription that cuts those fees. Businesses can also hire Dashers through its Drive service to carry orders placed on their own websites. Four Stanford students founded DoorDash in 2013, and it is based in San Francisco, California.
