  • Full-time
  • Department: Engineering

Company Description

Wolt is a technology company that makes it incredibly easy to discover and get the best restaurants, grocery stores and other local shops delivered to your home or office. Wolt is not just a delivery app – we’re a technology company building a global logistics platform to seamlessly connect our millions of customers with thousands of merchant and courier partners, in real-time across 23 countries and 250+ cities. Our apps (iOS and Android) have the industry’s highest ratings, largely thanks to our customer-first-mindset, which shows in how we build products and run operations. In November 2021 Wolt and DoorDash announced we’re joining forces, and the transaction is expected to close in H1 2022.

Working in Product Development at Wolt

At Wolt, we’re about getting things done. You’ll probably enjoy it here if you like taking ownership, developing yourself and being around friendly, humble and ambitious people. 

The behind the scenes of Wolt is run by an awesome bunch of over 400+ planners, builders, designers and data crunchers. We call ourselves Product+, as we’re the very core of Wolt’s products, tools and platforms. To build our products, we work in over 37 cross-functional, independent and autonomous teams. Teams are made up of a mix of talented individuals: engineers, designers, data scientists, analysts, and product leads. Each team takes ownership for solving customer problems in the best possible way.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We want to have all sorts of people in our team – people like you and me, and people different from you and me. To be able to work with diverse teammates – when it comes to gender, age, ethnicity, life background, sexual orientation, political views, religion, or any other personal trait – we consciously aim to offer equal opportunity for everyone to work with us. This is because we believe diverse teams make the most thought-through decisions and build things in the most inclusive way.

Job Description

Do you want to work in a start-up within a start-up?

If you do, then come and join our Wolt Market teams and dive deep into Kotlin to develop from scratch our backend services.

Wolt Market is a chain of dark grocery stores available on Wolt’s well known delivery platform. Wolt Market delivers groceries to our users within 30 minutes, and now we’re looking to take a leap forward with a dedicated product offering for Wolt Market. The area will consist of multiple teams, which are still to be hired and built.

The teams will collaborate closely with our Retail, DaaS, and Merchant (integrations) teams, share knowledge, best practices and infrastructure on AWS.

Kotlin for us a success story; we started using it in our Fintech team but now it has spread to multiple teams across product development for building our microservices.

If you haven’t used Kotlin so far, that’s ok, we are happy to consider anyone who has experience with a JVM language such as Java or Scala.

Since it is early days in the project, you will play an integral part in defining the way the team will work, participate in architecture, CI/CD discussion meetings and decide on tools and best practices.

The team will be based in Helsinki HQ (working remotely at the moment) but welcomes new members to the Helsinki HQ or working entirely remotely elsewhere in Finland, Germany, Denmark, or Estonia now and in the future.

Qualifications

We are looking for people who have several years of experience building high-quality software, APIs and integrations and can handle the whole development cycle all the way to production. We find strong expertise in other JVM backend languages like Java and Scala genuinely relevant as well. Other relevant technologies are MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and we deploy on AWS. 

We value an attitude of constant improvement and the ability to create entirely new features from scratch. An entrepreneurial mindset of taking ownership of what you've built is a must. Join us with a huge opportunity to impact how the Wolt operations scale!

Additional Information

The positions will be filled as soon as we find the right persons, so make sure to apply as soon as you realize you really, really want to join us!

The compensation will be a negotiable combination of monthly pay and Wolt stock options. The latter make it exceptionally easy to be excited about our company growing and doing well, as you will own a piece of the pie.

If you want to check up on your application or have any further questions about the position you can turn to Talent Acquisition Partner, Anna Janeta ([email protected]) at any given time.
