Hey, you look like you might be our new Senior Backend (Python) Engineer, Payment Integrations
Engineering
Stockholm, Sweden or remote
Full-time
We are looking for Senior Backend Engineers to join our Payment Integrations team, to build a world-class payment infrastructure. As Wolt operates internationally in over 23 countries and over 200 cities, these teams are in a vital spot for e.g. enabling a smooth payment experience for our +10 million customers and ensuring stable, safe and error-proof money flows. The Payments Group at Wolt consists of 3 teams out of which the Payment integrations team is responsible for offering reliable and scalable payments options to millions of users in 23+ countries. In those countries we support a growing number of local and international payment methods such as lunch cards, credit cards and, mobile wallets such as ApplePay and GooglePay.
Within the role, you will be working in an autonomous agile team working closely with designers, data scientists and product leads and our international partners. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include the whole development process (business logic, testing, database & data streaming, CI/CD, analytics, monitoring and alerting solutions). We are looking for someone who appreciates teamwork and has good communication and interaction skills. You enjoy varied work tasks and are able to learn and work with a wide range of different technologies and tools, and you are not afraid to take on new challenges.
We believe in high level of ownership within the teams of Wolt, and as a member of our team you will have chance to contribute to the team's future development plans, ways of working, technology choices, and ultimately get to design & build integral and high impact projects, influencing millions of users across the Wolt platform.
As the business is 24/7 so must our services be. We have a lot of highly challenging engineering topics for seasoned seniors - event-driven, asynchronous service design, blitzscaling business requirements and a strong emphasis on automation.
This role can be based in one of our tech hubs in Stockholm, Helsinki or Berlin, or you can work remotely anywhere in Finland, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, and Estonia. Read more about our remote setup here.
Our humble expectations
We are building our services in Python and looking for the ability to develop production-level microservices in Python (FastAPI, Flask) from the get-go and willingness to learn other modern languages as well if needed.
Our engineers have wide responsibilities over the whole development lifecycle so knowledge of tools such as PostgreSQL, Docker, and K8 as well as some experience with any cloud platform such as AWS will become handy. We are looking for engineers who can solve problems together, think about big problems such as scalability and availability and sometimes go against the current to also challenge the common decision. Understanding Fintech & Payments will help you succeed, but please don’t let it get in the way if it’s a new area for you - we’re sure you’d get a grasp of things quickly once you start!
In addition to technical expertise, we value taking ownership beyond the obvious, your motivation to learn new things you don’t yet master, ability to make decisions together with your team and willingness to collaborate with different teams Woltwide.
Next steps
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 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.
