Wolt is a Helsinki-based technology company that provides an online platform for consumers, merchants and couriers. It connects people looking to order food and other goods with people interested in selling and delivering them. To enable this, Wolt develops a wide range of technologies from local logistics to retail software and financial solutions – as well as operating its own grocery stores under the Wolt Market brand. Wolt’s products include Wolt+ (subscription service for customers), Wolt for Work (meal benefits and office deliveries for companies), Wolt Drive (fast last-mile deliveries for merchants) and Wolt Self-Delivery (service for merchant partners with their own delivery staff). Wolt’s mission is to make cities better by empowering and growing local communities. Wolt was founded in 2014 and joined forces with DoorDash in 2022. DoorDash operates in 29 countries today, 25 of which are with the Wolt product and brand.

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 700+ 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 60  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.

• Leading the charge in defining and implementing best practices for data anonymization, deletion, and protection, and building solutions that help other teams incorporate the practices.

As a member of the team, you'll have the unique opportunity to:

• Play a pivotal role in shaping the team's direction and culture from the ground up.

• Explore and integrate diverse data flows and storage architectures to create a secure and compliant data ecosystem.

We're seeking a highly skilled and motivated engineer who is passionate about safeguarding user data and ensuring strict compliance with privacy regulations. Understanding of data pipelines, storage systems, and data governance is highly desirable. We’d love to see interest and knowledge of relevant regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and industry best practices.

To excel as a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, you'll need several years of experience in back-end development, coupled with an understanding of front-end technologies. We leverage Kotlin, Python, and TypeScript (with React) for our development stack. Our infrastructure relies on MongoDB and PostgreSQL for databases, Git for version control, and Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration.

But there's more! We're looking for someone who takes ownership beyond the obvious, is motivated to learn new things and share knowledge and loves collaborating with different teams across the organization.

The position will be filled as soon as we find the right person, 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 DoorDash RSUs. The latter makes it exceptionally easy to be excited about our company growing and doing well, as you’ll own a piece of the pie.
