Do you have passion for people and scaling without failing?

We're looking for an awesome someone to join Wolt in this brand new role as a Head of Infrastructure. We've been growing immensely in the past few years, taking Wolt into new territories on almost monthly basis. Our Platform team has had a huge hand in that, as they are responsible for all infrastructure (servers, build automation…) and the scalability of our technical platform. Essentially it's up to this team to ensure we scale and keep on running without hiccups.

This 👆is where you come in. We're looking for someone to take the helm of the team. The team consists of skilled devops engineers, and we want to bring you in to enable us to focus and tackle the great challenges of exponential growth. You know what it takes to scale modern cloud infrastructure, take care of exceptional people and manage budgets, roadmaps and backlogs. You will be responsible for how Wolts infrastructure scales, from budgeting to load balancing. You'll also be a facilitator and an enabler for the team to do what they do best, by making personal development plans, hosting regular 1on1s and so forth.

What we hope from you is plenty of experience leading a team focusing on modern cloud architecture (think AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform...) and understand databases and data storage from scaling point of view. Some of your duties will be clearly operational in nature, like taking care of development processes or handling infrastructure expenses. Given the area you'll be working on, you'd also need to have experience of a product organization scaling fast, and hopefully even worked hands on with the infrastructure of said organization. You don't necessarily need to be a coder at this point of your career, as this role will not give you time to code. However a technical background with scalable infrastructure is what we are ideally looking for. Most importantly you have to be a cultural leader that cares for the wellbeing and success of your team.


Join us for a delightful journey!

We are looking forward to hearing from you! The role is filled as soon as we find the right fit, so move fast. The recruitment process includes 3-4 interview stages and a homework assignment.

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'll own a piece of the pie.

About Wolt 

Wolt is a Finnish technology company and we’re best known for our food delivery platform. On our mobile app or website, customers can order their favorite meals from our restaurant partners, and either pick their order up or have it delivered by our courier partners.  

We’re currently active in 20 countries and more than 70 cities, servicing over 3,5 million customers. Our apps (iOS and Android) have the industry’s highest reviews, largely because of our customer-centric approach to how we build our products and operations. For example, our customer service team responds in a matter of seconds, in the customer’s own language.  

We’ve raised more than €150M in financing from renowned U.S. and European based investors, such as ICONIQ Capital, 83North, EQT Ventures and Highland Europe. We've also been fortunate enough to receive some appreciation and recognition for our hard work along the way: Apple selected Wolt’s app as their Editors' Choice, Wired named the company one of the "Hottest Startups in Europe," Forbes included our CEO Miki Kuusi on its 30-under-30 in Consumer Tech list, and the Nordic Startup Awards named Wolt Company of the Year. 

Wolt is more than just a food delivery operation – in fact we are built upon a solid foundation of state-of-the-art technology. Our internal tooling enables us to ramp up new cities efficiently and provide excellent customer service, our own logistics platform allows us to optimise our couriers’ work to get you the food you want as fast as possible, and our restaurant platform allows restaurants to offer exciting food experiences for our customers in an optimal way.
