Engineering Manager, Risk & Identity Platform

About The Team

The Risk and Identity Platform team's mission is to empower every DoorDash team to build trustworthy and secure experiences by providing a single, seamless source of identity truth.

Our work is organized around three core pillars: Accounts (the foundational, compliant source of truth for the entire user lifecycle), Authentication (the secure gateway to DoorDash, authenticating every request), and Authorization (a generic platform serving both user-to-service and service-to-service access control).
