Scala Software Engineer, Merchant Product Catalog and Inventory

Company Description

Wolt is a technology company that makes it incredibly easy to discover and get the best restaurants, grocery stores and other local shops delivered to your home or office. Wolt is not just a delivery app – we’re a technology company building a commerce platform to seamlessly connect our millions of customers with thousands of merchant and courier partners, in real-time across 23 countries and 250+ cities. Our apps (iOS and Android) have the industry’s highest ratings, largely thanks to our customer-first-mindset, which shows in how we build products and run operations. In June 2022 we officially joined forces with DoorDash. Combined, we have a presence in 27 countries, 23 of which operate with the Wolt brand and app. Wolt and DoorDash continue largely independently, with Wolt’s name, brand, product, technology and team.

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 400+ 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 40  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.

Join us today to build Wolt together!

Job Description

This role can be based in one of our tech hubs in Helsinki, Berlin or Stockholm, or you can work remotely anywhere in Finland, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, and Estonia. Read more about our remote setup here. If you live outside of these countries - not to worry! We provide relocation support to help you make your way to Finland, Germany or Sweden.

Wolt is looking for a Scala Software Engineer to strengthen our Merchant Product Catalog & Inventory team. The team's main focus is the Product Catalog, where you will have the opportunity to impact a central piece of Wolt's business. When we are done, every product sold on Wolt will come from the Catalog - this means the impact and opportunities associated with this role are great.

A great part of this position is about teamwork: we believe that together we deliver greater products. The Catalog team is a cross functional team where Frontend and Backend engineers work closely together to deliver great experiences, with the support of Designers, a Product Lead, QAs and whoever else is needed. We come together and solve problems.

The Backend part of the team is using mostly Scala, with a modern stack with ZIO and an opinionated approach to Functional Programming. We develop and deploy our own services to Kubernetes, and integrate them via RESTful APIs and messaging. Read more about Scala at Wolt in our engineering blog!

Qualifications

For this role, we expect a mix of existing experience and/or interest in learning the following:

• Good knowledge of the Scala programming language, and the will to master it
• Functional programming beyond the basics
• Messaging (i.e. kafka)
• API design (i.e. using Open API)
• A bit of python (we do help maintain a python codebase from time to time)
• A team-first mindset
• Ability to own topics suitable for your level, end to end: from conceptualization to implementation to testing and shipping to production

So, if you feel that you’ve got what it takes and if working on a cool product in a cool team sounds like something you’d be interested in doing, we’d love to hear from you! 💙
