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.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to join the Wolt AdTech & 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.
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
- Communicate clearly and effectively, and know how to gather, process, and act on feedback
- 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
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
- Extensive experience with AI-assisted development, including tools such as Codex, Claude, and agentic workflows
- Experience with NoSQL databases such as Cassandra, MongoDB, or similar is a plus
Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That’s 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.

Skills and AI tools this role asks for
Questions you could be asked
- How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
- Walk me through how you've used Claude in your day-to-day work.
- What are the limits of Codex that you've run into, and how did you work around them?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: AI Agents, Claude, and Codex. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
