Senior Backend Engineer, Search Platform

2 months ago


Stockholm, Sweden Wolt Full time
Job Description

The Search Platform engineering team of Wolt is focusing on developing venue & item search for our consumers. This team is all about experimenting, testing, and fine-tuning our complex search feature, including filtering and sorting, relevancy scoring, as well as taking care of the end-to-end consumer search architecture to create the best possible search experience for our customers. The team is back-end focused and consists of a Team Lead and experienced software engineers.

As a Senior Backend Engineer at Search Platform, you’d get a unique chance to bring your competence and experience from building similar search features in scale into use. Together with the experienced, small but growing team, you’d have full ownership of the search feature, used already by 10+ million customers. This role would be primarily hands-on developing high-quality code. In addition to programming, you’d share the best practices, ensure the building of scalable solutions, and share your expertise relentlessly around the search domain. Your handprint would surely be visual in producing an uncompromisingly good search feature which we are almost building from ground up. With Wolt expanding beyond restaurants enabling several kinds of Retail experiences, it becomes increasingly important and challenging for us to help consumers find what they need. A universal Search feature sits at the center of the organization’s wider product strategy.

This role can be based in one of our tech hubs in Helsinki, Berlin or Stockholm. Read more about our remote setup here. If you live outside of these countries - don't worry We provide relocation support to help you make your way to Finland, Germany or Sweden.


Qualifications

We are looking for a talented individual with experience in developing large-scale search features and a strong background in designing and building high-quality software. Ideal candidates will have expertise in Elasticsearch or similar tools and preferably have held a Senior Engineer role in the search domain at a large consumer organization. Experience as a coding architect is also highly valuable.

In addition, experience in site reliability engineering, including building and integrating tools for observability, logging, and monitoring, is highly desirable. ✨

Our team primarily uses Python (Flask, FastAPI), but we value skills in any modern language and framework. If you have up-to-date expertise, you’ll fit right in. 

We value excellent communication skills, the ability to lead with technical expertise, and a strong drive to achieve results.



Additional Information

The position will be filled as soon as we find the right person, so make sure to apply as soon as you realize you really, really want to join us

The compensation will be a negotiable combination of monthly pay and DoorDash RSUs. 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.
