TPMs on our Engineering teams provide fundamental support to the underlying technology services as well as the engineers building these services. It's no simple task, but it wouldn't be interesting if it was!
About the Role
Our team is looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager for our Marketplace Engineering Teams to drive important engineering-wide initiatives related to next gen engineering platforms. Platform areas include Homepage initiative, Consumer Growth, DashPass, and Pricing. Programs will require a strong technical understanding, general cross organization coordination/facilitation, stakeholder management, and ownership of results.
You will report into the centralized Technical Program Management team in Engineering. You must be located in either the San Francisco Bay Area or Seattle.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Owning Marketplace Programs - You will partner closely with Consumer Platform, Marketplace, Merchant, and New Verticals organizations, as well as key engineering and product leaders to establish the vision, strategy, technical direction and success metrics for our platform teams. Focus areas for your programs will include data quality, operational excellence, product launches and platform enhancements.

- Domain Technical Depth - You will develop a full understanding of our technical stack and interdependencies, allowing you to contribute to designs and ensure they are scalable, reliable, and efficient.
- Stakeholder Management - Manage expectations for all stakeholders from leadership to individual teams, possess strong problem solving and negotiation skills, and earn trust of partners and teams.

- Process - Develop processes to ensure teamwork is streamlined to manage complexity and optimized velocity. You are thoughtful about how and when to implement processes with a light touch and clear understanding of success within DoorDash's culture.
- Time Management - Balance urgency and priority while moving the needle on multiple initiatives.
We're excited about you because…
- You're experienced in working with large-scale distributed systems, as well as client-side and platform teams, who own Tier 0 services serving external customers. You can speak to system architecture, scalability and reliability decisions, and design trade offs.
- You're a strong leader with the ability to collaborate and build relationships across organizations, bridge gaps between teams, and successfully influence without authority.
- You have strong ownership, urgency, and drive. You are willing to roll up your sleeves and drive into the details to understand and drive your programs.

- You've engaged with Engineering teams on product & platform development with a thorough understanding of software development processes and project planning.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Technical Manager Jobs at DoorDash
Frame your credentials around engineering leadership scope
DoorDash Technical Managers are expected to lead cross-functional engineering teams, not just manage individual contributors. Before applying, document specific examples of team scaling, architecture decisions, and delivery outcomes. USCIS specialty occupation standards require your degree to align directly with the role.
Target roles on DoorDash's logistics and platform teams
DoorDash hires Technical Managers most actively across its merchant, consumer, and logistics infrastructure pillars. Identifying which pillar matches your engineering background sharpens your application and signals domain fit to hiring managers who prioritize relevant system experience.
Search open Technical Manager roles using Migrate Mate
Filter for DoorDash Technical Manager openings by visa type on Migrate Mate to surface roles that explicitly align with your sponsorship needs. This saves time compared to parsing job descriptions manually for sponsorship language.
Clarify your visa type before the offer stage
DoorDash sponsors multiple visa categories for Technical Managers, including H-1B, E-3, TN, and F-1 OPT. Knowing which category applies to your situation before negotiations start prevents delays. Your status determines whether DoorDash files with USCIS or processes through a consular post.
Account for H-1B cap timing in your job search calendar
If you need a cap-subject H-1B, USCIS registration opens in March for an October 1 start date. Targeting DoorDash Technical Manager roles six to nine months before that window gives your recruiter enough runway to prepare the petition before the filing deadline.
Prepare a DOL-compliant work history record early
DoorDash's immigration team files a Labor Condition Application with the DOL before submitting any H-1B or E-3 petition. Having a clean, verified employment history with accurate dates and job titles ready reduces back-and-forth and keeps your petition timeline on track.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does DoorDash sponsor H-1B visas for Technical Managers?
Yes, DoorDash sponsors H-1B visas for Technical Manager roles. The process requires DoorDash to file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL and then submit a petition to USCIS. If you need a cap-subject H-1B, your start date will be tied to the October 1 fiscal year, so timing your offer and registration accordingly is important.
How do I apply for Technical Manager jobs at DoorDash?
You can browse and apply for Technical Manager roles at DoorDash directly through Migrate Mate, which filters open positions by visa sponsorship type. Applications typically go through DoorDash's recruiting team, and the interview process includes a hiring manager screen, a technical leadership round focused on system design and team management, and a final loop with senior engineering leadership.
Which visa types does DoorDash commonly use for Technical Manager roles?
DoorDash sponsors a broad range of visa categories for Technical Managers, including H-1B, H-1B1 visa for Chilean and Singaporean nationals, E-3 visa for Australian citizens, TN visa for Canadian and Mexican nationals, F-1 OPT and CPT for recent graduates, and Green Card pathways through EB-2 and EB-3. The right category depends on your nationality, education, and career stage.
What qualifications does DoorDash expect for Technical Manager candidates?
DoorDash typically looks for candidates with a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field, paired with hands-on experience managing engineering teams at scale. Demonstrated ownership of complex, high-traffic systems is valued. For visa purposes, your degree must align with the specialty occupation definition USCIS applies to the role.
How do I plan my timeline if I need visa sponsorship for a DoorDash Technical Manager role?
Timeline depends on your visa category. E-3 and TN petitions can be processed in weeks, while cap-subject H-1B petitions are tied to the October 1 start date with USCIS registration in March. If DoorDash files for a Green Card through PERM, expect 18 to 24 months for labor certification alone. Align your offer negotiation to account for whichever process applies to your situation.
