Engineering Team Lead, Wolt Market

  • 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.

Join us today to build Wolt together!

Job Description

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

With Wolt Market we’re looking to bring the same lovable Wolt experience of fast, friendly delivery, within minutes from restaurants to all products we need in our daily lives from groceries to work-from-home supplies. It’s a chance to help build an all-new blissful shopping experience, and to remake customers’ e-commerce experience through a rapidly growing dark store (or Wolt-wise, “blue store”) network. 

We’re now looking for an Engineering Team Lead to lead the cross-functional talented team of engineers working on creating from scratch tools and systems to grow one of the most exciting new business areas at Wolt. The scope will involve one of the following domains: Vendor Management, Product Information Management or Integrations.

As a Team Lead, you’ll ensure we do the right things in the right way, acting as a facilitator and striving to make the complex things simple. You’ll see it as your biggest mission to cultivate personal growth of your team members and  serve as a supportive leader by: truly getting to know each team member, having regular 1on1s with feedback, facilitating goal-setting. You’ll also act as an enabler for the daily and weekly practices and do whatever is needed to help the team succeed. As we work in a highly ownership-driven environment, it will often mean taking a step back and giving autonomy to the team; on other occasions you’ll need to be more hands-on and give your guidance. We’d expect you to know well when to apply which approach. 

You can be based in the Helsinki capital area, Berlin or work entirely remotely elsewhere in Finland, Germany, Denmark, or Estonia now and in the future! 🌍 Read more about our new remote set-up here.

Qualifications

  • You know what it takes to develop top-quality software, take care of people and achieve ambitious goals together. 

  • You're an inspirer, facilitator and enabler by heart.

  • You come from a software engineering background and have strong experience leading engineering teams.

  • You're not afraid to step into action when needed, and most of the time, you are also ready to step back and let the team do its magic. 

  • We expect you to be a good communicator, willing to serve people outside of your team, and a product-oriented and proactive problem solver willing to bring up issues in a constructive manner to the team and the whole Wolt Product team.

If you are one of those unicorns with leadership abilities & development skills, there is room in this position for hands-on contribution as well! We are thrilled if you have technical expertise in fields such as backend engineering with Kotlin or frontend development with React + Typescript.

It may sound like we are looking for a unicorn (which we probably are), but we believe in unicorns - we are looking for the perfect fit to make a big impact in molding the future of Wolt with building cool and ambitious stuff that few believe can be done. 

If you think you might be the one, we look forward to hearing from you. It’s no small feat but will be rewarding and fun!

Our offering to you 

Overall our product organization consists of a team of 300 people at Wolt including 25 Product management experts, and 20 outstanding Product designers. We aim to build none other than the best-in-the-world product management team here at Wolt. 💯

You’ll get to work in a company culture where we take ownership beyond the obvious, do common things uncommonly well, we think big but stay humble, do right by people, we treat others kindly and justly, recognise that if we don’t learn, we won’t stay still but fall behind and keep in mind that Luke was Yoda’s greatest achievement. Read more about how we work. 💙

The compensation is a combination of monthly pay and Wolt stock options. 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. 🙌
