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.

  • Supporting Engineering Excellence: Champion best practices, improve developer workflows, and continually raise the bar for code quality.
  • Long-Term Thinking: Balance short-term deliverables with long-term platform health to maintain a maintainable, extensible, and secure environment.
