Senior Data Engineer, Event Tracking & Streaming Analytics

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!

Wolt has been growing substantially in the past years and this growth has posed new challenges when working with telemetry data from our applications; the number of use cases around it has grown and its complexity in terms of dimensions and ingestion rate is bigger than ever! We are now in an exciting phase, looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join us in building our event tracking and streaming analytics!

In this role you will take ownership of our client event tracking from the point of collection to building a streaming ingestion pipeline that gives us the ability to observe user's session activity in real-time and finally making sure we have highly usable, performant and tested derived & aggregated datasets for analytics. You will ensure that our data capture processes are designed, developed and actively maintained and the data pipelines used for collecting telemetry data are kept up to date and monitored. 

You would be joining our growing DataOps team, working closely together with our data engineer and other internal development teams. This role can be based in one of our tech hubs in Helsinki or Berlin, or you can work remotely anywhere in Finland, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, and Estonia. Read more about our remote setup here. 

You should be passionate about data processing and streaming technologies and already have experience building, configuring and troubleshooting real time processing systems such as Flink, Spark Streaming or Kafka Streams.

Our services are running on AWS with Kubernetes and in addition, we work with Airflow, Postgres, MongoDB and Snowflake. Most of our code base is written in Python, but for our streaming platform we might also use Java or Scala, so proficiency in one or more of these languages is required.

Working in this team means putting both your technical and interpersonal skills into action. Helping out other product teams is at the core of this role, so good collaboration and communication skills will be needed.

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.
