Job Description
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.
Every order on Wolt passes through us. The Cart Checkout team owns the critical path from the moment a customer adds something to their cart to the moment they Slide to order - and the experience that follows. We run in 29 countries, handle millions of daily transactions, and build the surfaces that every other team depends on. We’re hiring a senior backend engineer who wants to be at the front line of what engineering looks like in the age of AI - and who wants to do it on systems that genuinely matter.
đź’ˇ Why Cart Checkout?
We've shipped features millions of customers use daily:
Double order, persistent baskets, group orders, scheduled delivery, tipping, reviews and so on. The team builds and owns these end-to-end. You'll join a team with a strong track record and keep that momentum going.
Real ownership, real impact: You’ll own infrastructure at our highest criticality level. When it’s down, ordering is down. Your work shows up directly in conversion metrics across every Wolt market .
Visible surfaces, not hidden plumbing: Cart, checkout, scheduled delivery, tipping, group orders - these are the screens customers see and use every day. Downstream teams across iOS, Android, and Web build on top of the APIs you design .
Technical ownership and high-priority projects: Your time is split between maintaining and evolving critical services and shipping visible features along the main user path. No pure maintenance. No feature factory .
Cross-org engineering at scale: We co-own checkout APIs that serve Wolt, DoorDash, and Deliveroo clients simultaneously - aligning ordering experiences across three of the world’s leading delivery platforms .
Competitive pay and equity: Salary + DoorDash RSUs. When the company wins, you win.
🤖 AI-Native Engineering - What This Means For Us
We’re building a team at the forefront of agentic coding. This isn’t about using Copilot to autocomplete boilerplate. We mean 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 developing a clear perspective on what’s genuinely useful vs. hype. If you find yourself naturally asking “can an agent do this?” before reaching for the keyboard, you’ll fit right in.
🔍 What We’re Looking For
Strong backend engineering fundamentals: you've built and shipped services that run at scale, and you understand what that entails: API design, observability, reliability, and maintainability.
Genuine enthusiasm for AI-first development: You use AI tools daily, have real perspective on how to get the most out of them, and want to push what's possible when AI agents are part of the engineering workflow.
You take responsibility for outcomes end-to-end: from design through production, across teams and time zones.
Collaborative instincts: Cart Checkout sits at the intersection of purchase, pricing, payments, logistics, and so many others. Working across disciplines is the norm, not the exception.
