What we offer

At Wolt, this role gives you the opportunity to build products that are directly used by restaurants and brands to grow their business. Promotions are one of the most visible and impactful levers on the platform, and your work will shape how merchants attract customers, drive sales, and optimize their performance.

You’ll work on a mix of backend systems and user-facing tools, owning features end-to-end and seeing your work quickly go live across multiple markets. This is a role where you can build, ship, and iterate fast, while still tackling meaningful challenges around scale, usability, and performance.

We offer a strong sense of ownership and autonomy, where engineers are trusted to drive solutions, influence product decisions, and take ideas from concept to production.

You’ll also be part of a diverse and supportive team, where collaboration, feedback, and continuous learning are part of how we work every day.
