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.
Building internal tools that power world-class support — at scale 🚀
At Wolt, we believe exceptional customer service is more than just a feature — it’s a fundamental part of who we are 💙. That’s why we’ve built our own internal support tooling from the ground up, tailored to help our customer, courier, and merchant support teams shine in every interaction.
As we grow across 30+ countries, supporting millions of users and partners, our internal tools need to scale too. That’s where the Support Productivity team comes in. We're building high-performance admin applications that integrate deeply with our in-house chat platform, which already powers over 20 million monthly conversations. It’s a vital part of our mission to proactively solve problems - often before our users even notice them.
We're now looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (Golang) to join our team in creating scalable, low-latency systems that help our 25M+ users and 300K+ partners get the support they need - quickly, reliably, and with a human touch.
📍This role can be based in one of our tech hubs in Tallinn or Helsinki.
What you’ll be doing:
- Build and maintain high-throughput backend services using Go.
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and frontend developers to ship features that support internal support agents across the globe.
- Design systems that are scalable, resilient, and easy to maintain.
- Lead and contribute to architectural discussions and technical decision-making.
- Write well-tested code and help the team maintain high code quality standards.
Our humble expectations:
- 1-2 years of production experience in Golang, with the ability to mentor others in Go best practices.
- Strong experience with SQL and NoSQL databases - especially Cassandra.
- Experience designing and operating low-latency, high-throughput distributed systems is a big plus.
- Product-oriented mindset — we value engineers who think beyond the ticket and understand the “why” behind the work.
- Experience in leading projects or making key technical decisions is expected at this level.
- Clear communicator with a collaborative spirit — we move fast, but we do it together.
Nice to have:
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP) and event-driven architectures is a bonus.
Next steps:
These positions will be filled as soon as we find the right persons, so make sure to apply as soon as you realize you really, really want to join us!
