The Data Scientist, Analytics role

DoorDash data scientists sit in the central Analytics org and do product and business analytics: experiments, funnel and cohort work, regressions and dashboards for the marketplace, growth, logistics and merchant teams. The work is analytics and inference rather than ML, and hiring runs through one evergreen req with team matching after the interviews.

A central Analytics & Data Science org with seven named teams (Consumer & Growth, Dasher & Logistics, Merchant, Ads & Sales, International Data Science and others), IC bands I4, I5 and I6, then Lead and Manager.

Worth knowing: DoorDash’s one IC data science req has stayed open since July 10, 2024 and was refreshed on October 6, 2026 — it now routes applicants to seven analytics teams, including International Data Science.
