About the Team
The Experimentation Platform Team develops a state-of-the-art platform in industry that enables Product Engineers, Data Scientists, ML Engineers and non-technical audiences to come up with hypotheses; design, configure and analyze experiments; and conduct exploratory and causal analysis. At DoorDash, where we run thousands of experiments per month, our mission is to equip all decision makers with rigorous, data-driven insights by democratizing experimentation with quality and velocity. The team consists of a mix of experienced veterans of backend, web, statistical and data infra engineers and work closely with the data science community.
Some of the interesting work done in the team was published in articles such as:(1) Meet Dash-AB-The Statistics Engine of Experimentation at DoorDash, (2) Supporting Rapid Product Iteration with an Experimentation Analysis Platform. We help enable and unlock interesting solutions our product teams use such as (3) The 4 Principles DoorDash Used to Increase Its Logistics Experiment Capacity by 1000%, (4) Improving Online Experiment Capacity by 4X with Parallelization and Increased Sensitivity, etc.
