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 more than 30 countries around the world.
We are a Helsinki-based technology company that makes it incredibly easy to discover and get the best restaurants, grocery stores and other local shops delivered to our customers. To enable this, Wolt develops a wide range of technologies from local logistics to retail software and financial solutions, as well as operates its own grocery stores under the brand Wolt Market.
Our team has been working hard to build an amazing service for our customers, merchants and
couriers – all while making cities better. And we’re excited to see the shared impact we’ve had along the way, serving customers, supporting local businesses, and creating earning opportunities around the world.
In 2022, Wolt joined forces with DoorDash, marking an exciting new chapter in our journey. Together, we continue to think big and expand our reach across the globe. This partnership brings together two leading players in local commerce, combining shared values, complimentary strengths, and a common ambition to build the best possible platform for customers, merchants, and couriers. Today, Wolt operates as part of DoorDash International, which encompasses DoorDash’s businesses outside of the United States.
Building on this international momentum, DoorDash acquired UK-based Deliveroo in October 2025. This brought Deliveroo’s strong operations across the UK, Ireland, and several European and Middle Eastern markets into DoorDash’s growing global portfolio.
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 along the way. So, if you're a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, this could be the ride of your life!
