About the Team

The Identity and Access Management team enables secure, seamless access across DoorDash's global engineering and business operations. Our mission is to make access simple, automated, and user-centric — reducing friction through self-service models while maintaining strong governance and compliance. We focus on streamlining joiner, mover, and leaver processes, modernizing access requests, and building scalable controls that prioritize both security and the end-user experience across a complex application landscape.

About the Role

This is a senior individual contributor role responsible for advancing a modern, automated, and user-centric Identity and Access Management program. They will improve how employees access the tools they need — making access faster, simpler, and more intuitive — while strengthening governance and audit readiness behind the scenes. In the first 90 days, they will assess current access processes, identify friction points, and begin delivering measurable improvements in automation, data quality, and lifecycle efficiency. Success in this role means enabling the business through scalable self-service access models that maintain strong compliance without slowing teams down.
