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.
What were looking for
Were looking for a Backend Engineer to join the Wolt Promotions team.
This role is best suited for someone who is strongly backend-oriented thrives in ambiguity and can take ownership of large cross-functional initiatives from planning to delivery.
Core requirements
Strong backend engineering experience
This is first and foremost a backend engineering role. Were especially interested in candidates with Golang experience. Golang is strongly preferred but it is not a strict requirement for an otherwise exceptional backend profile.
Ownership and execution in ambiguous environments
This is the most important capability for the role. Were looking for someone who can operate effectively when the path is not fully defined take ownership of initiatives that span multiple teams align stakeholders create realistic plans and timelines and drive execution through to delivery.
AI-native development experience
We highly value engineers who already use modern AI tools as part of their daily workflow. This includes substantial hands-on experience with tools such as Codex Claude and agent-driven development workflows and a strong understanding of how to use them effectively to improve engineering productivity speed and quality.
Strong communication and stakeholder management
Success in this role requires clear and proactive communication. You should be comfortable gathering feedback processing it thoughtfully and facilitating alignment between the team and external stakeholders so everyone is moving in the same direction.
Nice to have
Database experience ideally NoSQL
Experience with NoSQL databases is a plus especially technologies such as Cassandra MongoDB or similar systems. This is less important than backend strength ownership and AI fluency but still valuable.
Heres a more job-ad-ready version with a slightly stronger tone:
You might be a great fit if you
- Are a strong backend engineer ideally with Golang experience
- Have experience building and operating scalable backend systems
- Are comfortable working in high-ambiguity environments and bringing structure where needed
- Can independently lead large initiatives across team boundaries from problem definition and planning to stakeholder alignment and on-time delivery

- Can build strong working relationships with stakeholders and keep multiple parties aligned around shared goals
- Have hands-on experience with AI-assisted engineering workflows including tools like Codex Claude and agent-based development approaches
- Bring experience with NoSQL databases such as Cassandra MongoDB or similar technologies
And heres a more concise version if you want it to sound cleaner and more direct:
Requirements
- Backend engineering experience
- Strong preference for Golang
- Proven ability to take ownership of complex cross-team projects in ambiguous environments
- Strong stakeholder management planning and delivery skills
- Excellent communication and alignment-building skills

Thats why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds experiences and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools resources and opportunity to excel.
