Senior Backend Engineers - Fintech Group

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.

We are looking for experienced Senior Software Engineers who can develop production-level microservices to join our Fintech group here at Wolt.

Our Engineering organization at Wolt consists of 700+ Engineers working across 70+ product teams. Some of us work on the visible parts, making our services easy on the eye and some of us focus on the unseen magic happening behind the scenes. ✨

Our Engineers handle the whole development process (business logic, testing, database & data streaming, CI/CD, analytics, cloud) in an autonomous manner. They build things that are accessible and made to scale. They keep our systems in the best shape by simplifying the unnecessary complexity.

We make the decisions as a team and group of teams for our ways of working and we take architectural decisions together. Everyone plays a role in our future.

Our Engineers choose the best technologies that work for Wolt, their teams and themselves. Making good choices means finding scalable, robust technology that works in everyone’s best interests. The freedom to experiment and adopt the best technology benefits everyone.

The main stack for these roles consists for example Golang (Echo), Kotlin (Ktor, Koin, Spring, grpc…), PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kafka, Redis, GitHub Actions, AWS, Docker and Kubernetes.

Needless to say, in such an environment there’s a lot of room for learning, teaching and growing together!
