About the Team DoorDash's Protective Services function operates at the intersection of executive protection, residential security, protective intelligence, threat management, and executive cybersecurity across a three-brand global enterprise covering DoorDash, Deliveroo, and Wolt. The Protective Intelligence function is the analytical engine of the program. It runs a real-time AI-enabled threat detection pipeline that surfaces threatening content across platform support channels, monitors open-source and social media environments for signals that never enter the platform, produces intelligence products that drive executive protection and travel security decisions, and builds the threat profiles that inform how the program allocates its resources. The work is technically enabled, analytically demanding, and operationally consequential.
