FAQs

Do I need to be based in Sweden? Do you offer relocation support?

At Wolt, we have a hybrid set-up in our tech hubs and for this position we would expect you to already be based in either Helsinki, Berlin or Stockholm. We don’t offer relocation support for this specific program so you should be already in one of those countries with a valid work permit.

I want to apply; what happens after I send my application? 

If you are selected for the first round, you will get an invite for the next step by the latest on the following week the application period ends. We will be in touch with each and every candidate who applied regardless of the outcome. As a heads up, the recruitment process includes a home assignment to showcase your skills in practice (the deadline to complete it is 7 days), a technical interview, a meeting with your possible team lead and someone else from the team you’ll be joining. We are aiming to make the final decisions within the October-November time frame.

I'm interested in working with Kotlin but I don't have the experience in Kotlin specifically?

Experience in modern Java is highly relevant as well.

I’m interested in backend development. Do I need to have the experience in all the technologies mentioned in that area?

Definitely not! We are looking for backend engineers in two different technology areas: Kotlin and Scala so only experience in one of these is required.
