Wolt is looking for a Scala Software Engineer to strengthen our Merchant Product Catalog & Inventory team. The team's main focus is the Product Catalog, where you will have the opportunity to impact a central piece of Wolt's business. When we are done, every product sold on Wolt will come from the Catalog - this means the impact and opportunities associated with this role are great.

A great part of this position is about teamwork: we believe that together we deliver greater products. The Catalog team is a cross functional team where Frontend and Backend engineers work closely together to deliver great experiences, with the support of Designers, a Product Lead, QAs and whoever else is needed. We come together and solve problems.

The Backend part of the team is using mostly Scala, with a modern stack with ZIO and an opinionated approach to Functional Programming. We develop and deploy our own services to Kubernetes, and integrate them via RESTful APIs and messaging. Read more about Scala at Wolt in our engineering blog!

For this role, we expect a mix of existing experience and/or interest in learning the following:

• Good knowledge on the Scala programming language, and the will to master it
• Functional programming beyond the basics
• Messaging (i.e. kafka)
• API design (i.e. using Open API
• A bit of python (we do help maintaining a python codebase from time to time)
• A team-first mindset
• Ability to own topics suitable for your level, end to end: from conceptualization to implementation to testing and shipping to production

So, if you feel that you’ve got what it takes and if working on a cool product in a cool team sounds like something you’d be interested in doing, we’d love to hear from you! 💙

If the advertised role looks like an exciting challenge - the right time to apply is now! 

The compensation is a combination of monthly pay and equity. 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.
