About the role

Wolt is looking for a Scala Developer to join our Logistics team. This is one of those parts of Wolt's business, people don't always realize the complexity of. We have a complex algorithm working tirelessly to make sure our hungry customers get their food as quickly as possible, something we call logistics optimization. The algorithm calculates estimated food arrival based on multiple factors, and as a Scala developer you are the one that brings this algorithm to the users.

As a Scala Developer in the Logistics team, you are responsible for bringing what the algorithm does, into the user interfaces. This means for example the "pre-estimates" a customer sees prior to ordering food, ie. how long should it take if you order now from Fafa's. You are in essence building interfaces for the optimization engine towards the customers. The team is currently most occupied with trying to keep up with the 🚀-like growth by scaling the whole optimization process. This means we need to do some major changes to how things have been done before, and we need you here to make that happen.

The Logistics team consists of two developers working directly with the optimization engine (in C++), one logistics researcher (dealing with the algorithm and the math behind it) and a product lead. You can see we are a Scala developer short, so here is a truly interesting, technically challenging and impactful spot free for you. You'll need to have development experience with Scala, and understanding of C++ is also beneficial but not mandatory.

Join us for a delightful journey!

The position will be filled as soon as we find the right person, so make sure to apply as soon as you realize you really, really want to join us! We appreciate a great love letter, so make sure to send over some of that love in your cover letter. 💙

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.
