DoorDash, one of the biggest names in delivery, is trying to deliver even more.
The company’s couriers, known internally as “dashers,” are a common sight as they zip around the US delivering food, groceries, and other goods to customers.
Now, DoorDash is investing in new tech, including autonomous vehicles, as it looks to the future. CEO Tony Xu said on an earnings call in November that DoorDash would invest hundreds of millions of dollars this year in key initiatives, including a global tech platform for all its brands and autonomous tech.
DoorDash employees don’t just work on big problems, though. The company requires its corporate workforce to periodically make deliveries themselves through a program called WeDash.
Some of the people making all of that happen at DoorDash corporate have joined the company from outside the US, and the company has sponsored H-1B visas.
Employers include salary information when submitting applications to the US Department of Labor for H-1B work visas. The publicly available data includes ranges for base pay, but excludes equity or other benefits that companies often offer employees. The filings also include industry average pay rates for US workers in similar roles.

In the year ending September 30, 2025, DoorDash submitted roughly 540 H-1B visa applications, which can offer insight into what the delivery company pays for certain jobs.
The H-1B visa application process is changing under President Donald Trump.
In September, Trump imposed a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications. He’s also proposed changes to work visa rules that could tilt the already competitive visa lottery in favor of the highest-paid applicants, lawyers told Business Insider.
Here’s a look at some of the jobs for which DoorDash has disclosed salaries in the work visa data. DoorDash did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
