Job Description

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.

We’re looking for passionate and product-minded Backend Engineers to join our Discovery team - the group behind some of the most visible and impactful parts of Wolt’s consumer app. You’ll work on features that help millions of users discover their next favorite restaurant, grocery store, or product- from the homepage and category views to new vertical experiences like groceries, electronics, pet food, and health & beauty.

This is more than just a backend engineering role. We’re looking for someone who combines strong technical skills with curiosity, ownership, and a deep interest in creating meaningful user experiences at scale.

AI-First Engineering in Discovery

We're building teams at the forefront of agentic coding. This goes beyond autocomplete or occasional prompting. We’re looking for 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.
