We are looking for Senior Backend Engineers to join our founding Payments teams in Israel, 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 teams with end to end ownership of Wolt payment platform and solutions. Our mission is to ensure frictionless payments with high availability and risks under control enabling best in class payment experience for our customers in order to support Wolt growth and expansion. This means, among other things, mitigating fraud across the countries we operate in, ensuring observability and robustness of our payments solutions, improving the lives of our operations through our internal tooling, and maximizing our services' availability to our customers. 

We believe in a high level of ownership within the teams of Wolt, and as a member of the team you'd contribute to the team's future development plans, conventions, 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 is based in our new tech hub in Tel Aviv, Isreal. We work in a hybrid model where you can work part of the week remotely.

We are building our services in Kotlin and  knowledge in python is a strong benefit as part of the ecosystem are python-based. We are looking for the ability to develop production-level microservices in Kotlin (Spring Boot, Ktor) from the get-go. Any skills and willingness to touch frontend development with TypeScript and React from time to time is also considered a plus.

Our Engineers have wide responsibilities over the whole development lifecycle, so knowledge of tools such as PostgreSQL, Docker, k8s and AWS will become handy as well as tooling around telemetry, alerting and monitoring to cover the SRE aspect of running services at scale. 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.

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.
