About the role

It's obvious that there would be no Wolt, without the restaurants. We live in symbiosis, and we are dedicated to serve our merchants the best possible way - in the best cases we've multiplied the revenue of our merchants and improved their market reach. The Merchant team is responsible for enabling smooth cooperation by building both external and internal tools related, and providing our merchants with insights of their business. The menu "model" is often thought to be one of the most complicated things Wolt has built / builds in the Engineering organisation. We currently have about 10,000 restaurants on Wolt, but that number is scaling FAST, so it's more important than ever to develop our merchant facing products.

As a Backend Engineer in the Merchant team you'll be making our beautiful dream of multiplying the amount of restaurants a reality. The team works on all the tooling we offer our restaurants, like our Merchant iPad application (with which the restaurants receive their orders), Merchant Admin (a platform for the merchants with our Menu Editor and business analytics) and internal Merchant management tools.

You might be the one we are looking for if you are an engineer with experience of designing and building top class software. You'd need to have extensive experience with Python as that is the language of choice, and any experience with Kotlin, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and AWS comes in handy. Overall, you’d be challenged by business critical problem solving within our complex architecture.

Join us for a delightful journey!

We could list here all the amazing things that we offer you, but actually the best part about working with Wolt is that we have a freaking awesome group of people working here, and there is never a dull day at the office. You're welcome to come and take a look if you don't believe us, and we make sure all our new hires are invited to all the great Wolt events even prior to joining.

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.

If you want to check up on your application or have any further questions about the position you can turn to Product Recruitment Manager, Laura Teerisuo, at laura@wolt.com at any given time.

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 22 countries and more than 80 cities, servicing over 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 €258M in financing from renowned U.S. and European based investors, such as ICONIQ Capital, 83North, EQT Ventures, Highland Europe and Goldman Sachs Growth Equity. 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. In 2020 we were recognized as the fastest growing tech company in Europe by the Financial Times.

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. 

We work in small teams with high ownership, with each team focusing on a key area of the Wolt product stack. Each and every one of our product team members has a say in where we are going and what solutions we implement. We work with a passion, but we haven’t forgotten how to have fun along the way!
