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 a technology company that makes it incredibly easy to discover and get the best restaurants, grocery stores and other local shops delivered to home or to the office. Our local commerce platform makes it easy for customers to order whatever they need on one app, for merchants to make additional sales, and for couriers to make meaningful earnings flexibly. To enable this, Wolt develops a wide range of technologies from local commerce platform to retail software and financial solutions, as well as operates its own grocery stores under the brand Wolt Market. Wolt was founded in 2014 and joined forces with DoorDash in 2022.
Job Description
Wolt is a Finnish technology company and we’re best known for our food delivery platform. We’ve grown significantly in the last three years, expanding our operations from just four countries across the Nordics, to over 25 countries across Europe and Asia today.

What makes the Finance team so special is our ‘service first’ approach to the job - we enjoy creating strong communication loops with the wider business, so that bottlenecks are minimized and that things get done quickly and efficiently.
Everybody is accountable for their own workload and takes pride in being meticulous and precise. We also enjoy learning and developing as we go - it’s important that you share this approach! :)

Our culture
At Wolt, 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. All of which comes from working with passionate, caring, down-to-earth and super-smart people.
The delivery of (almost) everything
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.
We’ve always taken an ambitious but sustainable approach to growth. And, as part of the DoorDash team, we can keep on dreaming big and expanding across the globe.
“We’re encouraged to try things out, and if they fail, then we try something new.
We’re focused on doing things a little bit better every day. In practice this means sharing ideas and learning from each other.”
