Staff Engineer

Proven track record designing and scaling large distributed systems in production environments.

Strong understanding of system architecture, scalability, reliability, and performance optimization.

Experience working with data-intensive and real-time or near real-time systems.

Familiarity with AdTech concepts such as targeting, ranking, attribution, or experimentation is a strong plus.

Ability to adapt quickly to new technologies and languages; while many of our services are written in Kotlin and Go, we are looking for someone language-agnostic.

Ability to dive quickly into new domains and navigate complex system interactions.

Familiarity with modern cloud-native tools and data systems (e.g., Kubernetes, Kafka, MongoDB).

Strong communicator with the ability to influence, align, and build consensus across diverse teams and stakeholders.

Comfortable working in a global environment across US and international teams.

Skilled at translating complex technical decisions into clear direction for technical and non-technical audiences.

Experience mentoring and coaching engineers, helping raise the technical bar across teams.

Strong sense of ownership combined with a collaborative mindset, able to work effectively across team boundaries to deliver shared outcomes.

Proactive in identifying opportunities and gaps across teams, and driving alignment to solve problems holistically rather than locally.

At Wolt, this role provides a rare opportunity to work on challenging AdTech problems at scale, where technical decisions directly impact revenue and user experience.

Our compensation follows a total compensation model, combining a competitive base salary with DoorDash RSUs.

You will play a key role in building and evolving the next generation of advertisement tools and platforms, shaping how advertisers create, manage, and optimize campaigns across Wolt. This is not just about maintaining systems, but about defining and scaling new capabilities in a fast-growing domain.

As a Staff Engineer, you will have end-to-end ownership and high autonomy, with the ability to influence architecture, product direction, and engineering practices across teams. Your work will have clear, measurable business impact, directly contributing to revenue growth and advertiser success.

You’ll be part of a global company operating at scale, collaborating with teams across Europe and the US, and solving problems that span multiple markets, use cases, and customer segments.

This role also offers strong opportunities for career growth and scope expansion, whether through deep technical leadership, cross-domain influence, or progression toward more senior individual contributor roles.

Alongside the technical challenge, you’ll work with talented engineers and leaders in a diverse and international environment, shaping both our systems and engineering culture while mentoring and learning from others.

We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That’s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.
