What’s our team?

We are the Consumer Pricing Team, responsible for designing and implementing the pricing strategies that balance customer value, market competitiveness, and company profitability. Data is at the heart of everything we do — we leverage A/B testing and data-driven insights to develop dynamic pricing models to optimize delivery and service fees. We’re dedicated to making pricing transparent and easy for customers to understand, integrating it seamlessly into the entire ordering flow. Working closely with data science, business, and operations teams, we ensure our strategies continuously improve the customer experience while driving business growth!

Who are we looking for? 

Wolt’s service was launched in Japan in 2020 and since joining forces with DoorDash last year, we have now grown into a few product development teams locally in Japan. We are now looking for a few Backend Kotlin Engineers and Frontend Engineers to build a new team from the ground up - the Consumer Pricing Team!

As a backend engineer on our team, you’ll collaborate closely with our other talented backend engineers, product lead, designer, and data experts to build and refine our pricing models. You’ll partner with our Web engineers to design and implement pricing configurability in our internal toolings, execute A/B testing experiments, and find the perfect balance between customer satisfaction and company profitability. Your work will directly impact how millions of customers experience our platform, making pricing smarter, fairer, and more transparent!
