Data Engineers, DataOps

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 works together with over 30,000 restaurant and retail partners as well as with over 60,000 courier partners across 23 countries and 129 cities.

Our apps (iOS and Android) have the industry’s highest reviews, largely because of our customer-centric approach to how we build our products and operations. For example, our customer service team responds in a matter of seconds, in the customer’s own language.

We’ve raised more than €707M in financing from renowned U.S. and European based investors, such as ICONIQ Capital, Tiger Global, DST, Prosus, KKR, Coatue, 83North, Goldman Sachs, Highland Europe and EQT Ventures & EQT Growth, among others. We've also been fortunate enough to receive some appreciation and recognition for our hard work along the way: Apple selected Wolt’s app as their Editors' Choice, Wired named the company one of the "Hottest Startups in Europe," Forbes included our CEO Miki Kuusi on its 30-under-30 in Consumer Tech list, and the Nordic Startup Awards named Wolt Company of the Year.

In 2020, the Financial Times named us Europe’s second fastest growing company. We’re still expanding rapidly and are looking for more talented individuals to join us. If you are passionate about cutting-edge technology, great food, and making an impact in your city, then Wolt just might be for you.

Wolt is more than just a food and retail delivery operation – in fact we are built upon a solid foundation of state-of-the-art technology. Our internal tooling enables us to ramp up new cities efficiently and provide excellent customer service, our own logistics platform allows us to optimise our couriers' work to get you the food you want as fast as possible, and our restaurant platform allows restaurants to offer exciting food experiences for our customers in an optimal way.

We work in small teams with high ownership, with each team focusing on a key area of the Wolt product stack. Each and every one of our product team members has a say in where we are going and what solutions we implement. We work with a passion, but we haven't forgotten how to have fun along the way!

DataOps is not a new thing at Wolt, but having a whole team focusing on it is! If you want to be scaling up data collection and usage at a truly data-driven company, you might want to join our brand new DataOps team! 

Wolt has been growing substantially in the past years and this growth has posed new challenges when working with data. We want to make sure that the teams consuming data are able to do so without spending the majority of their time on acquiring, cleaning and transforming it. So this is where DataOps comes to the rescue! 

This team would be responsible for bridging the gap between data integration, data engineering and data documentation, helping other teams to access the right data and shorten the cycle time. In practice you would be working with integrating data from our services into our warehouse and into our internal data catalog and help develop the tooling that makes these operations possible. In addition, the long term goal for DataOps is to help other teams to become more independent with data analysis and data quality, by coaching with tools and practices.

As said, we have projects already up and running, quite complex ones with a few hundred data pipelines so this team will have a lot of impact in shaping the future of DataOps at Wolt. As the team is new, the roles will be shaped based on each team member's background and desire to take responsibility.

The team welcomes a new member to the Helsinki HQ or working entirely remotely in elsewhere Finland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden or Estonia now and in the future! 

Working in this team means putting both your technical and interpersonal skills into action. If you have been working with data engineering before you probably know your way around data modeling, data warehousing and databases (we use Postgres, MongoDB and Snowflake), without forgetting backend development. This is the kind of experience we are also looking for. Our data platform is mainly built with Python, so you should have experience with it. We also work with Kafka, Airflow, Spark & Kubernetes. 

Helping out other product teams is at the core of this role, so good collaboration and communication skills will be needed. Having a genuine desire for wanting to make data work better for all ensures that you’ll enjoy the role as well. 

The compensation will be a negotiable combination of monthly pay and Wolt stock options. The latter makes it exceptionally easy to be excited about our company growing and doing well, as you'll own a piece of the pie.
