Senior Platform Engineer, Event Streaming Platform (Kafka)

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.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to join Event Streaming team — the distributed team responsible for the Kafka infrastructure and event streaming systems that power business-critical workflows across Wolt, Deliveroo and DoorDash.

You'll be joining a team that operates at the intersection of Platform Engineering and Reliability Engineering, building and running the streaming backbone that is used by thousands of services across 3 companies. This is deeply technical work: you'll own distributed systems at scale, contribute to long-term architecture decisions, and be working on the reliability of critical parts of infrastructure.

What You'll Be Doing

You’ll be joining the team within the broader Storage organisation. The team builds and operates highly reliable, scalable and efficient event streaming infrastructure, including Kafka, in-house Event Streaming abstraction (internally called Event Bus) and any future streaming platform technologies. These systems support critical workflows and are foundational to how engineering teams build reliable, event-driven products at scale.
