Working in Product Development at Wolt

At Wolt, we’re about getting things done. You’ll probably enjoy it here if you like taking ownership, developing yourself and being around friendly, humble and ambitious people. 

The behind the scenes of Wolt is run by an awesome bunch of over 700+ planners, builders, designers and data crunchers. We call ourselves Product+, as we’re the very core of Wolt’s products, tools and platforms. To build our products, we work in over 60  cross-functional, independent and autonomous teams. Teams are made up of a mix of talented individuals: engineers, designers, data scientists, analysts, and product leads. Each team takes ownership for solving customer problems in the best possible way.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We want to have all sorts of people in our team – people like you and me, and people different from you and me. To be able to work with diverse teammates – when it comes to gender, age, ethnicity, life background, sexual orientation, political views, religion, or any other personal trait – we consciously aim to offer equal opportunity for everyone to work with us. This is because we believe diverse teams make the most thought-through decisions and build things in the most inclusive way.

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 a Team Lead 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. 🚀

In this 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.💫

But it's not just about leading a team; it's about making an impact. You'll be instrumental in shaping the future of Wolt's customer support, working closely with our Product Lead to develop new innovative solutions.

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.

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.

The position will be filled as soon as we find the right person, so make sure to apply as soon as you realize you really, really want to join us!

The compensation will be a negotiable combination of monthly pay and DoorDash RSUs. The latter makes it exceptionally easy to be excited about our company growing and doing well, as you’ll own a piece of the pie.
