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 amazing group 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
About the Wolt Market Group
Wolt Markets are delivery-only grocery stores making shopping incredibly easy. From our dark stores, our customers get everything from fresh produce to household items delivered to their doorstep in 30 minutes - with only a few clicks.
Launched in Helsinki in 2020, today we have several dozens of stores across Wolt Markets. We have dedicated teams: from engineering and design to store operations and inventory management – all pushing the boundaries to deliver an amazing customer experience.
As we’re still in the early stages of our growth, there are plenty of opportunities to build the Wolt Market vertical and witness the growth journey within online grocery! In this domain, you’ll be exposed to the end-to-end process of running a quick commerce business: from optimizing the supply chain to improving consumer experience.
About the Wolt Market Operations
As part of the advertised role, you’ll work closely with two teams within Wolt Market:
🛍️ Inventory Management team is responsible for the unified supply chain picture;
📲 Store Operations team focuses on finding the most efficient ways of operating the dark stores.
In both of these teams, you’ll be able to dive deep into demand forecasting, inventory planning, optimal staff allocation, and other exciting topics. You will derive insights using statistical techniques, and will have a direct contribution to improving the business metrics!
About the New Verticals Data Science Team
Our New Verticals Data Science team comprises a cross-section of Data Scientists and Analytics Engineers. We work closely with the Data Engineering and Machine Learning teams who help ensure we have the right platform to deliver our insights at scale. We partner with Product, Engineering, and Strategy & Operations teams to guide measurement and tactical decision-making using advanced analytics as we expand the Wolt platform across the globe. We focus on growing the retail businesses on the Wolt platform, including Wolt Markets.
About the Role
As a Data Scientist at Wolt, your role involves diving into our data to solve crucial business problems. The scope of this role ranges from diagnosing problem areas to identifying solutions to designing experiments and ultimately influencing decision making. This is a rare, operational and actionable data-driven experience. When you join this team, you will be driving action from the frontlines, rather than just doing another analytics role.
If you enjoy finding patterns amidst chaos, are excited to build from 0 to 1, and have experience using analytics to affect Wolt Market operations, we're looking for someone like you.
Our offering to you
• The online delivery platform that Wolt is building will offer you interesting and complex challenges along with the opportunities to create a big impact with your skills. Lots of geolocational and temporal data in real time combined with differences in the economics and dynamics of the cities we operate in make Wolt both a challenging and so interesting company to practice analytics.
• You can choose the location from our tech hubs Helsinki, Berlin and Stockholm, or you can work entirely remotely anywhere in Finland, Germany, Sweden and Estonia. You have the chance to decide the ways of working — hybrid, at the office, or remote within the location above.
• You would get to work in a company culture where we take ownership beyond the obvious, do common things uncommonly well, we think big but stay humble, do right by people, we treat others kindly and justly, recognize that if we don’t learn, we won’t stay still but would fall behind and keep in mind that Luke was Yoda’s greatest achievement.
Qualifications
• Degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in a data science or analytics position within an industry or research.
