Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We want to have all sorts of people in our team – people like you and me, and people different from you and me. To be able to work with diverse teammates – when it comes to gender, age, ethnicity, life background, sexual orientation, political views, religion, or any other personal trait – we consciously aim to offer equal opportunity for everyone to work with us. This is because we believe diverse teams make the most thought-through decisions and build things in the most inclusive way.
Join us today to build Wolt together.
Job Description
Wolt is looking for a Senior Kotlin backend developer to join our Wolt+ team. The Wolt+ team mission is to provide our customers with a subscription service, to make their experience using Wolt even better for our most loyal customers. The subscription service has already been launched for over two years now and is growing rapidly. Nevertheless, it is still an MVP — this is only the start of the amazing journey! Development within the team moves with a fast pace, is very iterative, involves a lot of testing out new things and discovering new ways to engage our customers.
The Wolt+ team is a cross-functional team, and consists of a Team Lead, Product Lead, Data Analyst, Designer and Mobile, Backend and Frontend engineers. You’ll be getting your hands on systems done by plenty of other Wolt teams, collaborating, learning from each other and sharing knowledge. You will be responsible for the team's features both for the internal tools as well as the consumer-facing clients.
📍This role can be based in one of our tech hubs in Helsinki or Stockholm, or you can work remotely anywhere in Finland, Sweden, and Estonia. Read more about our remote setup here. If you live outside of these countries - don't worry! We provide relocation support to help you make your way to Finland or Sweden.
Qualifications
So what do we expect from you? You need to be an experienced backend developer with a proven track record of running a performant, reliable service. In terms of stack we use Kotlin and MongoDB, so experience in them is a plus, but experience in other JVM backends is also valid. DevOps experience with Kubernetes and AWS is a plus but not mandatory. The work will also involve contributions to the Wolt consumer monolith, written in Python, so you need to be able to at least read and understand Python code.
As a contributor to both our internal and consumer-facing APIs, you can write efficient and scalable code, while at the same time making sure it is well-tested and maintainable in a codebase with contributors from many different teams.
We need you to be a good communicator, willing to collaborate with people outside of your own team, be product-oriented, and a proactive problem solver. You know how to bring up issues in a constructive manner to the team and the Wolt's tech world at large. You will be representing your team to the wider backend community in Wolt and vice versa.
Additional Information
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!
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.
