We, the Marketing Tech team, are looking for a passionate and driven Python/Golang Backend Software Engineer. We are a product focused team that  emphasizes on enabling the scaling and efficiency  campaigns and marketing efforts both inside and out of Wolt.

In our team you can expect to face many different types of projects across the realm of acquiring users and keeping them engaged. You’ll work on both maintaining and expanding existing services, as well as planning and designing new ones. Our project types vary a lot, from microservices used in the core Wolt flow, microservices for automation or to enable our Marketing teams, ETL jobs, as well as streaming processing workers.

Some examples of projects include our in-house built:

•  Audience management tool in Golang
• Marketing attribution powered by Spark
• Consents management platform in Golang 
• Bid & budget automation platform in Python
• Campaign generation tool in Golang
• A whole host of ETL jobs written in Python

Since the team focuses on providing platforms and tools to enable marketing at Wolt, you can expect cross-team collaboration within Wolt. In addition, you’ll likely also regularly be working with marketing or analytics stakeholders and product leads to see through bringing projects from idea to production.

The ideal candidate will have previous experience in designing microservices and working with databases, is a proactive communicator, and has a strong ownership mindset.

Our humble expectations:

👉 You might be the one if you are an engineer with experience in designing and building top-class software and APIs with modern Python or Golang. We mostly work with FastAPI,, Echo, PostgreSQL, and Spark, and appreciate it if you understand what it takes to build and operate scalable software services in production. Our massive backend is powered with Kubernetes in AWS so proficiency in these platforms or similar and cloud infrastructure is a huge plus. Experience with other backend languages is seen as beneficial, and we also value previous front-end development exposure.

👉 You know what it takes to achieve ambitious goals together. We expect you to be a good communicator, willing to collaborate with people outside of your own team, be a product-oriented and proactive problem solver willing to bring up issues in a constructive manner to the team and the Wolt Product team at large.

👉 Understanding of marketing principles and workflows will also be a plus, but don't let it get into your way if these are newer things for you, we are sure you'll get the grasp of them!
