Job description

Overview

At Wolt, we create technology that brings joy, simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the world. In 2014 we started with delivery of restaurant food. Now we’re building the delivery of (almost) everything and you’ll find us in over 500 cities in 30 countries around the world. In 2022 we joined forces with DoorDash and together we keep on dreaming big and expanding across the globe.

Working at Wolt isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely exciting. Here you’ll learn more, build more, and ship more than in most other companies. You’ll be challenged a lot, but also have a lot of fun on the way. So, if you’re a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, this could be the ride of your life.

You’ll work with Kotlin, PostgreSQL, Kafka, AWS, and Kubernetes, with some Python in select areas, to build scalable, in-house solutions that enhance how users interact with Wolt. Our teams own their platforms end-to-end, ensuring we deliver seamless and high-impact experiences.

• Ownership & Growth: Work on impactful projects while developing your skills alongside experienced engineers.

You’ve built and shipped software—maybe a product, a service, or a tool used by real users. You’re comfortable working with microservices, API-driven architectures, and modern backend technologies. You take initiative, asking the right questions to ensure you're building the right solutions, and you care about clean, maintainable code that performs well in production.

You balance ownership and collaboration, knowing when to take charge of a project and when to work closely with your teammates. You bring ideas to the table and welcome feedback, always striving for the best technical and business outcomes. Whether you’re looking to deepen your expertise or expand your scope, you thrive in an environment where learning and impact go hand in hand. You understand that engineering excellence goes beyond development—you actively monitor quality, improve observability, and ensure that systems remain scalable and maintainable.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

Location and relocation

These roles are based in Helsinki. While we operate in a remote-friendly environment to foster collaboration and innovation, the candidate must be based in Finland. We are open to consider candidates from other locations if they are willing to relocate to Finland. Wolt provides relocation support. We are not able to offer remote contract from another country.

Next steps

The position will be filled as soon as we find the right person, so apply promptly if you’re interested.

Compensation

The compensation will be a negotiable combination of monthly pay and DoorDash RSUs. The latter makes it exceptionally easy to be excited about our company growing and doing well, as you’ll own a piece of the pie.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That’s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.
