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 Team

World-class customer service is one of the cornerstones of Wolt 💙 We're about delivering exceptional customer experiences and are looking for someone who understands the power of outstanding support. Someone who thrives on leading an engineering team to excellence and who believes in the importance of effective communication.

Imagine being at the helm of a team dedicated to ensuring every customer interaction is a delight. As an Engineering Manager in this team, you'll have the opportunity to lead a diverse team of engineers who are passionate about building top-notch support products and tools. With your guidance, they'll be empowered to tackle challenges head-on and build a high-load real-time system, crucial to continue supporting the growth of our business.

About the Role

You'll be the driving force behind our support operations, leading a cross-functional team across backend, web, and mobile development. Fostering their growth, and ensuring they have the support they need to thrive. Your days will be filled with collaboration, mentorship, and strategic planning as you lead your team through the weekly cycle, create personal development plans, and conduct regular one-on-ones.

Qualifications

To thrive in our team, you'll need solid leadership experience collaborating strongly with product teams and business stakeholders.

Being flexible and comfortable working with various languages and technologies depending on the task is a big plus.

However, previous hands-on software development experience in backend is definitely needed.

You also happen to be a big adept of modern AI tools and stay close to the code.

We appreciate candidates who have worked closely with product teams and senior team members, and who can handle stakeholder relationships on the business side.

Experience with rollouts and fast-paced production environments is essential.

Additionally, having expertise in Kubernetes and AWS would be valuable, as we rely on these technologies for our projects. Your familiarity with these tools will be a significant asset to our team's success.
