Join us to build the next big thing at Wolt!

We're kicking off new verticals at Wolt, and next up is... something interesting! This secret project is something we don't want to publicly announce yet, but we're eager to get started and build the team around this new vertical. Without revealing too much, we're looking to relieve the pain most of us experience at some point in our lives, and as Wolt does, release even more time back to peoples lives to do the things you enjoy the most.

There is a lot of intricate engineering work that goes into building this new thing. Much refactoring to be done to our existing code base, and of course plenty of new functionality to be built. We're already at work building the MVP, but we want to build a dedicated team around it, that will ramp up in the fall.

As a Backend Engineer in the "Secret Project" team you'll be in a key role building the future of Wolt services. 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 MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and AWS comes in handy. Overall, you’d be challenged by business critical problem solving within our complex architecture in new uncharted waters.

Join us for a delightful journey!

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 Talent Acquisition Lead, 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!
