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.
Are you an experienced software engineer ready to jump into an exciting role building something new on Wolt’s consumer and payment domains? Do you strive for releasing high-quality code to production? If yes, we might just have the spot for you as we are looking for a Frontend Software Developer to join one of our Payments teams in building world-class payment infrastructure on our web app https://wolt.com/.
The Payments group owns the end-to-end payment UX, from users choosing a payment on checkout to users switching to external apps for authentications. It’s a cross-functional team of frontend and backend engineers building product features end-to-end both within the team and in collaboration with other product and engineering teams (e.g. Consumer Web team).
You would be joining a new team with a real opportunity to contribute to the team's roadmap, tech choices, ways of working, and, naturally, be able to build all kinds of cool payments-related, user-facing features that will directly impact Wolt users’ customer experience. Since the team is in its early stages, you would have a real impact developing the Web App’s future, which is quite exciting really! Technical work you’ll drill down into can relate to anything from implementing purchase order designs for checkout to integrating SDKs of new payment methods across our 30 countries.
The Payments group implements payment and fraud solutions on Wolt’s checkout, as well as ensures that other quickly growing teams at Wolt can readily use payments based on their needs (i.e. multi-payment, bill-splitting, tipping, top ups, recurring payments, two-factor authentication on demand, etc). As Wolt operates internationally in 30 countries and over 200 cities these teams are in a vital spot for enabling a smooth checkout experience for our 15 million registered customers and ensuring stable, safe and error-proof money flows!
You can be based in our tech hubs Stockholm, Tallinn or Helsinki 🌍
What we value
As the business is 24/7 so must our services be. We have lots of exciting and challenging engineering topics for seasoned engineers: state management, component architecture, code reusability, api designs and last but not least, test automation.
Ownership: We handle the whole development process (business logic, testing, database & data streaming, CI/CD, analytics, cloud) ourselves in an autonomous manner. Don’t worry, we’re not alone: We have support from central teams when we need help.
Technology: We use modern tools and technologies. Current stack in use is React + Typescript, React Testing Library, GitHub Actions, Playwright, Storybook and TanStack React Query.
Autonomy: We make the decisions as a team and group of teams! We are free to choose the technology stack and tools and make architectural decisions together. No top-down decisions!
Creativity: We’re building lots of new stuff with minimal technical debt so you can focus on developing new features.
Diversity: We have different people with different backgrounds. Cultivating diversity and maintaining different opinions is the key to our success.
Our humble expectations
You might be the one we are looking for if you have several years of experience building apps using React & Typescript and delivering clean, reliable and maintainable code
We value a user centric mindset and strong sense of ownership where you take initiative and drive projects
On top of that, we value an attitude of constant improvements and also the ability to create things from scratch.
We are on the lookout for someone who is passionate about shipping high-quality software that solves customer and business problems. Technically, our ideal candidate knows their way around building top-notch frontend applications using React & TypeScript, while being highly passionate about design and enhancing user experience. If you're also all about crafting sleek, modern code that's as testable as it is maintainable, then you're our kind of person. 💫
You are making the right choice to apply if you value taking ownership beyond the obvious, are strongly motivated to learn new things, don’t shy away from making decisions, and are willing to collaborate with different teams across the organization. Throughout your career, you have worked with diverse teams. You’ve shipped beautiful greenfield projects from scratch, maintained horribly out-of-date old legacy projects, and everything in between. You understand the lifecycle of software products and have a pragmatic approach to finding the balance between crafting beautiful and scalable solutions while delivering incremental customer value along the way. 🛠️
We work closely with our teammates and having a good connection with team members is essential. We understand that everyone has their own unique way of communicating with others. We expect you to be yourself, express your opinions, and work together with the rest of the team. 👥
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.
Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That’s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.
