Full 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. Wolt+ is Wolt's subscription service - available across 29 countries and one of the most impactful products in the business. We make Wolt more affordable and more engaging for our most loyal customers. The product is growing fast, the scope is expanding globally (we're building it together with DoorDash and Deliveroo), and we're only getting started. We're hiring backend engineers who want to be at the front line of what engineering looks like in the age of AI. 💡 Why Wolt+? An AI-first team by design. We don't use AI as a productivity add-on - we treat agentic coding as a core engineering discipline. We expect our engineers to build with AI agents, to challenge what's possible when the human-in-the-loop is a multiplier rather than a bottleneck, and to push the boundaries of what a small, focused team can ship. Real ownership, real impact. Wolt+ runs in 29 countries, touching millions of users daily. You'll own features end-to-end - from the idea through production - and see your work matter at scale. Cross-org engineering at the frontier. We work closely with DoorDash and Deliveroo to align subscription experiences across three of the world's leading delivery platforms. This is engineering at the intersection of product ambition and international complexity
