Job description
About Wolt
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.
As a Software Engineer in Global Retail, you'll shape how customers discover, browse, and buy retail products - apparel, beauty, electronics, auto parts and more - across Wolt, DoorDash and Deliveroo. Retail is a large growth opportunity for the business, and our mission is to be the most trusted and magical way to shop the brands and local stores customers love. You'll play a key role in making that real - from product discovery through to shopping experience in the apps millions of people use every day.
You’ll join an evolving area where we are replacing and improving parts of the existing consumer apps, building specific retail journeys within large-scale B2C applications. This means working in a complex environment where multiple teams own different parts of the same app, and where strong technical judgment is needed to create consistency, quality and speed across teams.
Responsibilities
As a senior engineer in our group, you’ll work your magic in Go or Kotlin (and some Kotlin) helping shape how retail succeed with Wolt. You’ll have opportunities to:
• Design, build, and scale reliable systems that power retail experiences.
• Work across the full development lifecycle – from business logic and testing to cloud infrastructure and data streaming.
• Collaborate on architecture and technology choices that keep our systems simple, scalable, and efficient.
• Grow your skills and knowledge by working alongside experienced teammates in an environment that values learning and experimentation.
How We Work
• Autonomy & Ownership – Our engineers have end-to-end responsibility for their services, from implementation to production.
• Collaboration – Architecture and working methods are defined together, ensuring we make the best choices for long-term success.
• Scalability & Simplicity – We value pragmatic solutions that keep our systems robust without unnecessary complexity. We use technologies that serve Wolt, our teams, and our engineers best. You’ll have the freedom to experiment and adopt the tools that work.
Our Tech Stack
Our core technologies include Go, as well as Kotlin (Ktor, Koin, Spring, gRPC), PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kafka, Redis, GitHub Actions, AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Benefits
Wolt is a place where you can learn, teach, and grow. If you’re passionate about building great technology and working in an environment that values teamwork and autonomy, we’d love to hear from you! 📍This open role are based in our tech hubs in Helsinki. We work in distributed teams, but might not be able to offer fully remote work or relocation.
Our humble expectations
We’re seeking an experienced Software Engineer, so we expect that you:
• An AI-first mindset, with a deep experience in leveraging modern AI tools and solid engineering principles to solve problems end-to-end, independently of any specific technology stack.
• Not only understand customer problems but can break them down into actionable steps for both yourself and the team. You balance short-term needs with long-term goals, creating high-quality, scalable solutions.
• Lead by example, setting high standards for work quality and managing projects effectively, even in uncertain situations. You take full ownership of your team’s work, making improvements that benefit both customers and colleagues. You regularly spot gaps and provide valuable recommendations to cross-functional partners.
• Are used to being a role model and informal leader, collaborating with partner teams and mentoring both juniors and peers.
• Are an excellent communicator, being succint and to the point.
