Job Description

Data at Wolt

As Wolt has grown rapidly, we are integrating new users into our data platform every day and aim to ensure this is a seamless and cohesive experience for all users, whether they’re Analysts, Data Scientists working with our data or teams bringing new data to the platform from their applications. Our goal is to provide new platform capabilities across batch, streaming, orchestration, and data integration to meet our user's needs and to build an intuitive interface for them to solve their use cases without needing to learn the details of the underlying tools.

This role isn't tied to a specific team, but once you onboard, we will determine the best team for you to start in, depending on our needs and your skillset, whether that is more on the side of the platform, our user-facing tooling to operate the platform, or improving our data integration tools.

How we work

Our teams have a lot of autonomy and ownership in how they work and solve their challenges. We value collaboration, learning from each other and helping each other out to achieve the team’s goals. We foster an environment of trust, where everyone’s ideas are heard and we challenge each other to find the best solutions. We have empathy towards our users and other teams. Even though we’re working in a mostly remote environment these days, we stay connected and always remember to have fun together while building great software!

Our tech stack

Our primary programming language is Python. We deploy our systems in Kubernetes and AWS. We use Datadog for observability (logging and metrics). Our data warehouse is built on Snowflake and we orchestrate our batch processes with Airflow and Dagster. We are heavy users of Kafka and Kafka Connect. Our CI/CD pipelines rely on GitHub actions and Argo Workflows.

Qualifications

Most of our services, applications, and data pipelines are written in Python, so several years of experience writing production-quality software in Python is essential. You should be very comfortable with typing, tests, and managing dependencies. If you believe that software is not just a program running on a machine, but a solution to a problem, you're in the right place.

Familiarity with parts of our tech stack is definitely a plus, but we hire for attitude and ability to learn over knowing a specific technology that can be learned.

The tools we are building within the data platform serve our many stakeholders across the whole company, whether they are Analysts, Data Scientists, or engineers in other teams that produce or consume data. We want all of our users to love the tools we’re building and that's why we want you to focus on creating intuitive and user-friendly applications that enable everyone to use and work with data at Wolt.

Additional Information

The compensation is a combination of a monthly salary and equity. This makes it especially easy to get excited about our company's growth and success, as you'll own a piece of the pie.

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