Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Fulfillment Planning

About the Team

The Fulfillment Planning team builds the intelligence that powers DoorDash’s logistics network. We optimize how deliveries are planned and executed across the full delivery lifecycle, improving customer experience, merchant outcomes, Dasher efficiency, and DoorDash profitability.  Our mission is to improve fulfillment quality while reducing fulfillment cost. We do this by applying machine learning, optimization, and systems engineering to the core decisions behind assignment, routing, batching, timing, and fulfillment estimation.

The team works on some of DoorDash’s most important logistics systems, including:

The core assignment engine that matches deliveries with Dashers in real time.

Real-time ETA and fulfillment estimation systems for consumers, Dashers, and merchants across diverse geographies and all business lines.

Assignment and planning algorithms for specialized delivery types, including grocery, retail, parcel, and catering.

ML models and optimization algorithms that shape demand, improve service quality, and reduce cost.

Tier-0 logistics services that require high reliability, low latency, and strong operational discipline.…
