We are looking for Software Engineers who can develop production-level backend services in Python, to join several different Engineering Groups at Wolt.

Our Engineering organization at Wolt consists of 700+ Engineers working across 70+ product teams. Some of us work on the visible parts, making our services easy on the eye and some of us focus on the unseen magic happening behind the scenes. 

Our Engineers handle the whole development process (business logic, testing, database & data streaming, CI/CD, analytics, cloud) in an autonomous manner. They build things that are accessible and made to scale. They keep our systems in the best shape by simplifying the unnecessary complexity.

We make the decisions as a team and group of teams for our ways of working and we take architectural decisions together. Everyone plays a role in our future. Our Engineers choose the best technologies that work for Wolt, their teams and themselves. Making good choices means finding scalable, robust technology that works in everyone’s best interests. The freedom to experiment and adopt the best technology benefits everyone.

The main stack for these roles consists for example Python (FastAPI), PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kafka, Redis, GitHub Actions, AWS, Docker and Kubernetes.

In such an environment, there's plenty of opportunity for learning, teaching, and growing together!

FinTech Group: dedicated to shaping the future of financial services at Wolt. 🚀 Our Fintech teams play a critical role in enabling smooth and automated money flows for our customers, merchants, and courier partners as well as delivering financial products to them. To meet local requirements and provide the best financial solutions, our Fintech engineering teams are at the forefront of building integrations and automating financial processes for local country teams, supporting expansion in our existing markets and into new ones.

Currently we have an open role for example to our Payment methods team. This team is dedicated to creating a world-class payment infrastructure that delivers an exceptional customer experience. This involves developing seamless integrations with various payment providers, allowing Wolt’s customers to enjoy convenient and reliable payment options across 29 countries. In this role, you’ll work on services used daily by millions, tackling complex scalability, observability, testing, and engineering challenges beyond those you may have encountered before!


Consumer Group: As the name Consumer Group implies, we are responsible for building and developing Wolt’s consumer-facing products. Our mission is to master the user experience while scaling up the platform to enable delivering a mall in your pocket. We’re humbled and proud to say our apps have the industry’s highest ratings in the App Store (4.8) and Google Play (4.6). We believe that a great user experience enables healthy top-line growth. We make sure our users find the right content from the platform and convert. We are here in the long term by retaining our customers and keeping them engaged. Currently, the Consumer Group is growing especially in the front of consumer search and discovery functions making sure we succeed in the above-mentioned mission.

📍These roles are open for candidates who are based in Finland. We offer a flexible hybrid setup: you can choose to work from the office, remotely, or a mix of both - whatever suits you best. We also offer relocation support if interested in relocating to Helsinki from another country. 

Our humble expectations

We are looking for Software Engineers who can develop production-level microservices in Python. We'd love to see experience with building high-load and large-scale systems in Python. Experience in domains such search and discovery or payments is a huge plus but not a requirement. 

As a member of our teams, you'll dive into the world of microservices, primarily using Python, while remaining open to exploring other modern languages, such as Kotlin and Go, in some teams. We appreciate previous experience in handling the whole development cycle all the way to production.

But what truly sets you apart is your ability to tackle big challenges together, envision scalability and availability, and dare to question conventional decisions. You’ll be successful in our teams if you quickly grasp new concepts and thrive in an environment of continuous learning. 

We put a lot of focus on the ability to collaborate well with others. 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.

In addition to technical expertise, we cherish those who take ownership beyond the obvious, have an insatiable hunger for knowledge, make collaborative decisions, and enthusiastically collaborate with diverse teams Woltwide. We value the unique perspectives and skills you bring to our adventure, and we're excited to see what you can achieve with us!👥🚀

Next steps

We are hiring for a number of positions across a few different Engineering Groups. During the initial screening call our Talent Acquisition Partner will discuss with you your expectations and possible domain preferences as well as share more about different teams. After the call with a Talent Acquisition partner, the interviewing steps are conducted for a particular group in mind, with a specific team being proposed at the end of the process - that’s the moment when you’ll latest get to meet your possible Team Lead. Throughout the process, we will do our best to match your experience, skills and aspirations with the most suitable Engineering team at Wolt! 

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.
