Wolt jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Wolt runs a delivery platform. It started in 2014 with restaurant food and now delivers almost everything. Its postings say Wolt operates in over 500 cities in 30 countries and joined DoorDash in 2022. Wolt also runs its own grocery stores, called Wolt Market, which fill online orders and hand them to courier partners.

What they value

• Self-starters with an entrepreneurial spirit, which every posting asks for.
• Honesty about the work. Postings say working at Wolt is not always easy.
• Speed of learning, phrased as learning, building, and shipping more than elsewhere.
• The local neighborhood, which the mission statement puts at the centre.
• Local language. Many postings are written in the language of the country.

Where they hire

Of 237 postings, Berlin holds 36, Helsinki 22, Athens 19, Budapest 18, and Stockholm 14. The rest spread across more than 25 countries in Europe, the Nordics, the Balkans, the Baltics, Central Asia, and Israel. Kazakhstan alone holds Almaty, Astana, and Shymkent. Only three postings are remote, and one pairs remote with Krakow.

Teams and roles

Most of the board is operations in a named country, not engineering.

• Order fulfillment: 49 postings, the largest group, plus six in fulfillment management. These include grocery store assistants who pick and pack orders in a Wolt Market.
• Merchant teams: 24 postings in small-business acquisition, 11 in small-business account management, 10 in onboarding, eight in enterprise account management, and four in merchant services.
• Country support: 19 postings, plus five in a shared service centre.
• Advertising: 12 postings in global advertising.
• Engineering: six postings in merchant engineering, four in consumer engineering, and three in core engineering. One leads a platform team that serves DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo together.
• Couriers: four postings in courier operations and three in courier onboarding.
• Wolt Market and new verticals: eight country admin postings, four store postings, and five in global new verticals.
• Support functions: product management, accounting, data, licence services, and localisation.

What they look for

The two halves of the board ask for different things. Store and operations postings describe the task itself: taking orders through the Merchant app, picking and packing groceries, handing them to customers and courier partners, and stacking deliveries using first in, first out. One states the hours plainly as full time, 40 hours a week. Some of these postings are written only in the local language, so reading that language is part of the job. Engineering postings ask for scale and ownership: the computing platform manager posting asks you to lead a team of five engineers on a foundational backend platform shared across three delivery brands. Commercial postings ask for work with local merchants in a named city or country.
