Senior Backend Engineers, Wolt+
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.
Wolt+ is Wolt's subscription service -
available across 29 countries and one of the most impactful products in the business. We make Wolt more affordable and more
engaging for our most loyal customers. The product is growing fast, the scope is expanding globally (we're building it together
with DoorDash and Deliveroo), and we're only getting started.
We're hiring backend engineers who want to be at the front
line of what engineering looks like in the age of AI.
💡 Why Wolt+?
- An AI-first team by design. We
don't use AI as a productivity add-on - we treat agentic coding as a core engineering discipline. We expect our engineers to build
with AI agents, to challenge what's possible when the human-in-the-loop is a multiplier rather than a bottleneck, and to push the
boundaries of what a small, focused team can ship.
- Real ownership, real impact. Wolt+ runs in 29 countries, touching
millions of users daily. You'll own features end-to-end - from the idea through production - and see your work matter at
scale.
- Cross-org engineering at the frontier. We work closely with DoorDash and Deliveroo to align subscription
experiences across three of the world's leading delivery platforms. This is engineering at the intersection of product ambition
and international complexity.
- A small team that punches above its weight. We're a cross-functional team: Backend, Mobile,
Web, Product, Design, and Data - all in the same room. No handoff theatre. You'll move fast, ship iteratively, and be around
people who take craft seriously.
🤖 AI-First Engineering - What This Means Here
We're building teams at the
forefront of agentic coding. This isn't about using Copilot to autocomplete boilerplate. We mean engineers who:
- Design workflows where AI agents handle entire task loops, from spec to PR.
- Think in terms of orchestration: what
does a human review, what does the agent own?
- Build internal tooling and abstractions that make AI-assisted development
faster and more reliable for the whole team.
- Stay curious and ahead of the curve - trying new models, agents, and tools
as they emerge, and forming strong opinions about what's genuinely useful vs. hype.
If you find yourself naturally
asking "can an agent do this?" before reaching for the keyboard, you'll fit right in.
🔍 What We're Looking For Across all
roles
- Strong engineering fundamentals - you've built and shipped software that runs at scale, and you understand
what that entails: testing, observability, reliability, and maintainability.
- Genuine enthusiasm for AI-first development.
You use AI tools daily and have formed real opinions about how to get the most out of them.
- Ownership mentality: you
drive projects forward, communicate clearly across teams and time zones, and don't wait to be told what to do.
- Collaborative instincts - Wolt+ sits at the intersection of consumer mobile, web, backend, and data. Cross-functional work is
the norm, not the exception.
🙌 About You
- You've built and shipped real software - products,
platforms, APIs, apps - and you know what it takes to keep things running reliably in production. You have opinions about
architecture but hold them lightly. You write tests. You read the alerts. You don't leave loose ends.
- What sets you apart
right now is that you're genuinely excited about where engineering is going. You've been experimenting with AI agents and agentic
coding workflows - not because someone told you to, but because you couldn't help yourself. You think about how to redesign your
development loop from first principles, not how to bolt AI onto the way you already work.
- You communicate well,
collaborate easily across disciplines, and care about the product as much as the code. You're the kind of engineer who asks
"what's the best way to..." and then actually follows through.
🌍 Where You'll Work
