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. About the team
We, the Marketing Tech team, are looking for a passionate and driven Golang/Python Backend Software Engineer. We are a product-focused team that emphasizes enabling the scaling and efficiency of campaigns and marketing efforts both inside and outside of Wolt.
The MarTech team is currently building internal services around marketing and consent use-cases to allow our marketing stakeholders to drive marketing campaigns in and out of the app, and ensure we provide and maintain a compliant experience throughout the whole process. We empower marketing with the tools to fully set up and run their campaigns independently so as not to be blocked by product or engineering.
In our team, you can expect to face many different types of projects across the realm of acquiring users and keeping them engaged. You’ll work on both maintaining and expanding existing services, as well as planning and designing new ones. Our project types vary a lot, from services used in the core Wolt flow, services for automation or to enable our Marketing teams, ETL jobs, as well as streaming processing workers.
Some examples of projects include our in-house built:
Audience management tool in Golang
Marketing attribution powered by Spark
Consents management platform in Golang
Bid & budget automation platform in Python
Campaign generation tool in Golang
A whole host of ETL jobs written in Python
The key business need this role is to fill is the development of a centralized consent platform that allows teams to easily create and deploy compliant consent-gathering experiences.
Since the team focuses on providing platforms and tools to enable marketing at Wolt, you can expect cross-team collaboration within Wolt. You’ll also regularly be working with marketing or analytics stakeholders and product leads to see through bringing projects from idea to production. In addition, you’ll collaborate cross-functionally with teams from DoorDash, working on building services and aligning roadmaps across several teams.
If you didn't know it yet, we have a strong Python community at Wolt: around 100 of our engineers are actively using Python and sharing knowledge related to its rich ecosystem. Wolt Tech Talks Youtube channel has recordings from our Python meetups and interesting articles in our engineering blog
