Job Summary
About Wolt
At Wolt we create technology that brings joy simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the 2014 we started with delivery of restaurant food. Now were building the delivery of (almost) everything and youll find us in over 500 cities in 30 countries around the 2022 we joined forces with DoorDash and together we keep on dreaming big and expanding across the globe.
Working at Wolt isnt always easy but its definitely exciting. Here youll learn more build more and ship more than in most other companies. Youll be challenged a lot but also have a lot of fun on the way. So if youre a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit this could be the ride of your life.
Were looking for a passionate and product-minded Android engineer to join our Discovery team the group behind some of the most visible and impactful parts of Wolts consumer app.
Youll 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 verticals like groceries electronics pet food and health & beauty.
This role combines strong technical execution with product thinking ownership and a deep interest in building meaningful user experiences at scale.
What youll be doing
Day-to-day in this role youll:
- Design build and operate high-performance Android features across discovery surfaces front pages and category experiences
- Collaborate with Product Design and Data to define hypotheses and measure outcomes
- Run experiments using A/B testing and feature flags to iterate quickly
- Write clean testable code thats easy to maintain and ship
- Contribute to technical direction through code reviews and design discussions
- Improve system quality by reducing tech debt and evolving architecture
Why this role
Join our Discovery team and shape how users experience Wolt from the moment they open the app.
- An AI-first team by design: We dont use AI as a productivity add-on - we treat agentic coding as a core engineering discipline. We expect our engineers to build with AI agents to challenge whats possible when the human-in-the-loop is a multiplier rather than a bottleneck and to push the boundaries of what a small focused team can ship.
- Real ownership real impact: Discovery is one of the most critical parts of the product. Youll own features end-to-end and see your work directly influence user behavior at scale.
- Cross-functional collaboration: Youll work closely with product managers designers (including motion) backend engineers and data teams to build seamless user experiences.
- A small team with high leverage: We operate as a tight cross-functional team where engineers have a strong voice move fast and take responsibility for what they ship.
AI-First Engineering in Discovery
Were building teams at the forefront of agentic goes beyond autocomplete or occasional prompting. Were 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 whats genuinely useful vs. hype.
If you find yourself naturally asking can an agent do this before reaching for the keyboard youll fit right in.
What were looking for
- Strong Android fundamentals: At least 3 years of experience building production Android applications using Kotlin and modern frameworks like Jetpack Compose
- Genuine enthusiasm for AI-first development: You use AI tools daily and have formed real opinions about how to get the most out of them.
- End-to-end ownership mindset: You take responsibility beyond implementation from breaking down problems into technical tasks to ensuring features are tested stable and successfully shipped
- Ability to work independently and drive projects: Youre comfortable owning work end-to-end with minimal guidance collaborating with designers to clarify requirements creating tasks and moving initiatives forward
- Product and execution thinking: You operate well in ambiguous environments and contribute not just to implementation but to shaping what gets built and how
- Experience operating in production environments: Youve debugged real issues in live apps and understand what it takes to maintain reliability at scale
- Collaboration and communication: You communicate clearly and work effectively across teams including in multi-team development environments
- Attention to user experience and craft: You care about details and are excited about building polished high-quality UI including animations and motion
- Familiarity with modern Android stack: Experience with technologies such as Coroutines Compose MVI modularization dependency injection (e.g. Koin) and testing tools like Maestro
About You
- Youve built and shipped real software - products platforms APIs apps - and you know what it takes to keep things running reliably in production. You have opinions about architecture but hold them lightly. You write tests. You read the alerts. You dont leave loose ends.
- What sets you apart right now is that youre genuinely excited about where engineering is going. Youve been experimenting with AI agents and agentic coding workflows - not because someone told you to but because you couldnt help yourself. You think about how to redesign your development loop from first principles not how to bolt AI onto the way you already work.
- You communicate well collaborate easily across disciplines and care about the product as much as the code. Youre the kind of engineer who asks whats the best way to... and then actually follows through.

These roles are based in our tech hubs in Helsinki OR Berlin.
Next steps
Were reviewing applications on a rolling basis and the role will be filled as soon as we find the right person -so dont wait!
