DoorDash is looking for a Studio Central Product Designer to own end-to-end visual craft for brand moments, campaigns, and merchandising pushes. This hybrid role in San Francisco, CA emphasizes autonomy, less oversight than earlier-career positions, and direct impact through production-ready work, strong prototypes, and clean engineering handoffs. You will also help strengthen the design ecosystem through design systems, component libraries, and AI-powered tooling, while mentoring designers through craft feedback.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end visual craft on brand moments, campaigns, and merchandising pushes, from concept through shipped, production-ready execution with less oversight than earlier-career roles
- Mentor other designers as needed by sharing craft feedback and helping them build range, without formal authority over their work
- Help build and pressure-test design systems, component libraries, and AI-powered tooling as a team, proposing early versions or stress-testing work to surface issues before completion
- Influence across Product, Marketing, and creative stakeholders without authority, using prototypes and a strong point of view backed by working artifacts
- Build real range across the full workflow, from rough concept to production-ready execution, then hand off cleanly to engineering so nothing is lost in translation
Requirements
- Portfolio demonstrating strong, considered visual craft, systems thinking, or brand work at a senior level, even without having led an org-wide initiative
- Comfort moving between art-direction tools such as Figma and Illustrator, and shipping in code, or ability to close that gap quickly
- Habit of treating new tools and techniques as experiments, including shipping rough attempts early before deeper training
- Experience providing craft feedback to other designers, including informally, and helping them sharpen their work
- Track record of shipping high-quality work from ambiguous briefs with minimal oversight
Tools you’ll use
- AI-native tools
- Figma
- Illustrator
- Metaview
