Wolt is looking for a Backend Engineer to join our Promotions team. 💫 The Promotions team is all about making Wolt affordable for our users. The team does this both by making changes to our consumer-facing applications (iOS, Android and Web) and by building tools for our local and central marketing teams. Any type of incentive that happens inside the Wolt platform, whether it’s free deliveries, credits, discounts etc. is owned by the team, both the tooling and the consumer-facing part.  Development within the team moves with a fast pace, is very iterative, involves a lot of testing out new things and finding new ways to engage our customers. 🚀

The Promotions team currently consists of a team lead, a product lead, a data-analyst, mobile, backend and frontend engineers, and a designer. You’ll be getting your hands on systems done by plenty of other Wolt teams and collaborate and learn from them. You’ll contribute both to one of the oldest backend monoliths in the company, written in Python, as well as newer micro-services written in Python and Kotlin and will help move code to the latter. The team is spread out geographically and we work in a remote-first, asynchronous manner. 🚀🌍👩‍💻

We are looking for someone with a professional capability in building backend services using Python or Kotlin, ideally both, and delivering modern, testable, and maintainable code. We can tailor the role based on your experience to favor one of the languages, but you will need to learn both. 🛠️

The team has three other backend developers, so there is an opportunity to get mentorship and guidance from more experienced peers. We especially value a track record of learning new things quickly - it’s not just about where you are now but about where you will be in six months or a year. 🚀

Aside from technology, we expect you to be a product-oriented problem solver, a good communicator, willing to collaborate with people in and outside of your own team. You are willing to work with stakeholders to flesh out the final requirements and if necessary, find a compromise between tech and product and keen to bring up issues in a constructive manner to the team and to Wolt at large. Each and every one of our product team members has a say in where we are going and what solutions we implement.👥🚀

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.
