Role
Who you are
- We are looking for someone with a strong professional background in building frontend applications using React & TypeScript and delivering modern, testable and maintainable code. We commit to a user-centric approach and expect to find someone like-minded
- You are making the right choice to apply if you value taking ownership beyond the obvious, are strongly motivated to learn new things, have the ability to make informed decisions and willingness to collaborate with different teams across the organization
- We work closely with our teammates and having a good connection with team members is essential. We understand that everyone has their own unique way of communicating with others. We expect you to be yourself, express your opinions, and work together with the rest of the team
What the job involves
- You’ll join this completely new team, rebuilding with us the customer journey and building from scratch self-service tools, heavily relying on context-aware automation
- Since it is early days in the project, you will play an integral part in defining the way the team will work, participate in architecture and ideation discussions and iterate on tools and best practices
- You’ll collaborate closely with the designer, product manager and other engineers in your team
- Our teams are in charge of their own roadmaps, how they build services and products, and how they solve challenges from new features to core scalability of their solutions
Our take
Wolt is a delivery platform for restaurants and stores. They started with food delivery from restaurants, but have since entered into other areas such as groceries, retail stores and boutiques.
They have expanded to 23 countries (operating in more than 250 cites) including Sweden, Estonia, Germany and Japan. Unlike their competitors Uber Eats and Deliveroo which concentrate on densely populated cities, Wolt are able to also focus on the smaller markets with a relatively lower population density.
Wolt was acquired by DoorDash in November 2021 in an all-stock transaction for €7bn. This follows several other better-capitalised food delivery companies buying or investing in younger businesses in this large and crowded market. Following the acquisition, Wolt's chief executive will run DoorDash International and expand the joint business into new markets.
