Product Design, Entry-Level (2027 start)

About the Team

At DoorDash, design shapes how millions of people connect with their local economy and we put our customers at the center of our product strategy. Our design team crafts thoughtful experiences across the ecosystem, from consumers ordering their favorite meals to merchants growing their businesses and Dashers delivering with care.

About the Role

Design is changing faster than at any point in the last decade, and we’re building the team that defines what comes next. As a New Grad Product Designer, you’ll join and learn from designers shaping this new practice — one where AI is native to how you explore ideas, prototype, and ship. You’ll work on real projects that impact millions of customers, merchants, and Dashers, collaborating with product, research, data, and engineering to prototype your concepts, test with real users, and ship improvements to millions of people.

You’ll join one of our core teams — Consumer, Merchant, Dasher, Ads & Promos, Customer Experience & Integrity. You’ll be paired with a dedicated manager and a mentor while being supported by a community of designers passionate about learning and helping each other grow. 

This is a full-time role starting in 2027 and relocation support will be available as needed.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Grow faster than you thought possible – with a dedicated manager, a mentor, and a team invested in your development, you'll quickly grow to own design end-to-end: experiment with how AI evolves your work and process, and ship polished features that reach millions of users, merchants, and Dashers.
• You’ll use AI to explore divergent directions, build high-fidelity prototypes, and pressure-test ideas before they ship – leveraging this technology to help you shape how our product becomes smarter, more intuitive, and more human.
• You’ll have the opportunity to push the boundaries of our product and process. As part of an early class of new grads, what you figure out won’t just shape your own projects — it will shape how design is practiced across the team.
• Hone and refine your craft with mentors and peers in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment that values curiosity, craft, and collaboration.
• Collaborate closely with designers, engineers, PMs, and researchers to find the right problems to solve and ensure high-quality implementation.

We're excited about you because… 

• You’re graduating with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in design or a technology-related field (e.g. Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Computer Science, Digital Design, Industrial Design, etc) by Summer 2027, and available to start full-time in 2027.
• You have a portfolio (school, internships, or side projects) that shows strong design fundamentals — visual design, interaction design, and user-centered problem solving.
• AI is already part of your process and your portfolio includes at least one case study showing how you applied AI in your design process or designed an AI-powered experience.
• You communicate through prototypes — using Figma alongside AI-driven tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to turn ideas into working experiences quickly.
• You’re excited to learn, comfortable making decisions or asking for help, and able to iterate quickly as you incorporate feedback.
