DoorDash

DoorDash's University Careers page publishes three early-careers tracks:

• Software Engineering Internship: 12 weeks, with two cohorts starting in May and June, hosted in person at offices in San Francisco (HQ), Sunnyvale, Seattle, New York, or Los Angeles. The program is conversion-focused but does not guarantee return offers, and DoorDash provides relocation support and intern housing assistance
• AI Research Fellowship: a Summer and Fall 2026 program based in San Francisco for applied ML and AI research on logistics, agentic systems, foundation models for marketplace dynamics, and evaluation methods. Fellows pick a problem direction and publish or ship the outcome rather than sitting on a product team as junior engineers
• New Grad Program: a one-year structured program with technical and leadership training and an in-person New Grad Summit

DoorDash explicitly notes on the same page that it does not run off-cycle software engineering internships outside the summer. For an undergraduate the practical consequence is that engineering work here is a once-a-year decision, and the AI fellowship is the only adjacent option for a student looking for a non-summer entry route.

DoorDash opens applications for summer internships and new-grad roles "several months in advance, usually in the Fall of each year," per its University Careers FAQ, with the firm's own guidance to "apply early as roles fill quickly." Postings for Summer 2026 SWE intern roles appeared on the firm's Greenhouse board across US (job listing) and Toronto locations through autumn 2025.

Because windows are rolling rather than fixed and the cohort splits into a May start and a June start matched against academic calendars, two consequences follow. A late application is competing against several weeks of earlier submissions, and a candidate whose term ends in mid-May versus early June is not penalised at application time but is bucketed into one of the two cohorts based on availability. The autumn application stretch also collides with most US tech intern recruiting, so workload concentrates rather than spreading across the year.

DoorDash describes itself as "one of the world's leading local commerce platforms," operating in more than 40 countries since 2013, per its company page; independent business coverage and Wikipedia consistently place its US food-delivery share around two-thirds. The portfolio now spans core US restaurant delivery, DashMart (first-party convenience and groceries), and the acquired international brands Wolt and Deliveroo, with SevenRooms (restaurant operations software) appearing on the careers site as its own career area.

• Intern footprint is concentrated and US-based: San Francisco (HQ), Sunnyvale, Seattle, New York, and Los Angeles, with no published off-cycle SWE intern program
• Production exposure: the firm's own University Careers page publishes 2024 and 2025 intern testimonials describing projects shipped to live consumer traffic with six-figure daily request volumes, framing the program as one where intern code reaches customers rather than staging
• Engineering organisation is publicly repositioning around AI-assisted development: a March 2026 careers blog post details a 60-minute AI-assisted working-session format replacing traditional coding rounds, signalling what production work and tooling expectations look like inside the company

For an early-career applicant choosing between consumer-internet employers, the trade-off is concentration on logistics, matching, and marketplace economics in one dominant US platform, rather than a diversified portfolio of separate consumer apps.

Yes. DoorDash currently has 4 open internship and graduate roles on Jorb AI: summer internships, insight programs, graduate schemes, and early-career positions across the United States. Postings update continuously as new roles are added and filled.

DoorDash has open internship and graduate roles in the United States. Specific offices and program structure (summer vs year-round, internship vs graduate scheme) vary by region; check individual postings for details.

Applications to DoorDash go through the official careers site. Each role on this page links directly to the specific application. DoorDash does not use third-party submission services.
