<div class="content-intro"><h2><span data-sheets-root="1">About Wolt</span></h2> <p><span data-sheets-root="1">At Wolt, we create technology that brings joy, simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the world. In 2014 we started with delivery of restaurant food. Now we're building the delivery of (almost) everything and you'll find us in over 500 cities in 30 countries around the world. In 2022 we joined forces with DoorDash and together we keep on dreaming big and expanding across the globe.<br><br>Working at Wolt isn't always easy, but it's definitely exciting. Here you'll learn more, build more, and ship more than in most other companies. You'll be challenged a lot, but also have a lot of fun on the way. So, if you're a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, this could be the ride of your life.</span></p></div><p>At Wolt, we create technology that brings joy, simplicity and earnings to neighborhoods of the world. As part of that mission, we're building a unified platform designed to power DoorDash, Wolt, Deliveroo, and future growth. The primary computing platform is mainly a code execution framework that lets product teams compose business logic into graphs, while the team owns the platform, runtime, and operational experience.</p> <p>We're now looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our EU-based Computing Platform team. This is a team of 5 engineers working on a foundational, mission-critical platform that helps simplify backend development at scale by reducing operational overhead for product teams and making cross-team changes easier to build, test, and ship. In this role, you'll grow the team, shape the roadmap, and work closely with product and platform partners and your manager to make the Computing Platform more reliable, performant, and easier to adopt across Wolt, Deliveroo and DoorDash.</p> <h2>What you'll be doing</h2> <p>This is a high-impact engineering leadership role at the intersection of platform strategy, people leadership, and execution. You'll lead a team building core capabilities that help engineers ship business logic without owning the burden of running services themselves. Success in this role means growing a strong team, driving clear priorities, and delivering platform improvements that make the Computing Platform easier for developers, and safer, faster and more reliable to use at massive scale.</p> <h3><strong>Day-to-day in this role you'll:</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers, creating clarity, strong execution habits, and a healthy engineering culture.</li> <li>Own the team's roadmap and delivery across core Computing Platform areas such as performance, scaling and resource management, I/O optimization, integrations, developer experience, and observability.</li> <li>Partner closely with adjacent platform teams and product domains onboarding to Pedregal, turning their needs into platform capabilities and smoother adoption paths.</li> <li>Guide architectural and technical decisions for the Computing Platform runtime and developer-facing APIs, balancing reliability, simplicity, and long-term extensibility.</li> <li>Raise the bar on operational excellence by improving reliability, debuggability, and support for teams running production workloads on the Computing Platform.</li> <li>Help shape the next phase of the Computing Platform as a foundational platform for Wolt, Deliveroo and DoorDash through hiring, prioritization, cross-team alignment, and org leadership.</li> </ul> <h2>Our humble expectations</h2> <ul> <li>At least 3+ years of solid experience as an engineering manager, including directly leading and growing a team of engineers in a fast-paced environment.</li> <li>At least 5+ years of strong background in backend, infrastructure, product or platform engineering, and good technical judgment when working with distributed systems, runtime platforms, or developer-facing infrastructure.</li> <li>You know how to turn an ambitious platform vision into clear priorities, pragmatic execution plans, and reliable delivery.</li> <li>You're comfortable working across team boundaries and partnering with engineering, product, and platform stakeholders to drive alignment and adoption.</li> <li>You care deeply about people leadership and know how to coach engineers, create clarity, and build a healthy, high-performing team culture.</li> <li>You hold a high bar for engineering quality, reliability, and operational excellence, and can help teams navigate production challenges with calm and structure.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <h2>What we offer</h2> <p>This is an opportunity to lead a foundational platform team working on one of the most important backend building blocks. The Computing Platform is designed to simplify how engineers build and operate business logic at scale, and the work of this team has the potential to influence developer productivity, system reliability, and platform adoption across Wolt, Deliveroo and DoorDash.</p> <p>You'll get to work on meaningful engineering leadership challenges with broad scope: growing a strong team, shaping technical direction, and helping define how mission-critical compute platform evolves as more domains onboard. If you're excited by high-leverage platform work, complex distributed systems problems, and the chance to have impact far beyond a single product surface, this is a rare role to step into.</p> <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ncz4s_oBczc" width="560" height="314"></iframe></p><div class="content-conclusion"><h2><span data-sheets-root="1">Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion</span></h2> <p><span data-sheets-root="1">We're committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities.
