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.\nWorking 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.\nWolt is looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Front-end-leaning) to join our Operations Foundations team. The team sits within the DoorDash Client and AI Development group and is responsible for the foundation that hundreds of engineers across Wolt, DoorDash, and Deliveroo rely on to build internal operations tools. Our platform hosts 250+ micro-frontends (MFEs) used to operate every part of the business.\nOur team is focused on building a scalable, reliable, and high-quality internal tooling platform that supports Wolt, DoorDash, and Deliveroo’s operations and business.\nThe team plays an important role in improving how engineers build, test, and ship software across the organization, with a strong emphasis on reusable libraries, micro-frontend architecture, and agentic development: building the platform where AI agents can take changes from task to merged PR safely and reliably without lowering the quality bar.\nCurrently, we are focused on unifying our frontend platforms, evolving shared components and library development, improving developer productivity, and enabling teams to deliver more independently through better architecture and tooling.\nIt’s an exciting time to join because the team has strong ownership and a broad technical impact.\nWe’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can take ownership of complex technical initiatives across both frontend and sometimes backend and infra domains. In this role, you’ll work primarily with TypeScript, React, Node.js, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Buildkite), and MFE architecture to build scalable, maintainable solutions that support multiple product teams and business areas.\nSuccess in this role means becoming a trusted technical owner who consistently delivers reliable solutions and helps the team execute more effectively. Six months into the role, we’d expect you to be independently leading technical initiatives and contributing meaningfully to architecture and delivery planning.\nThis role offers the opportunity to solve challenging engineering problems with visible impact across the business. It’s especially exciting for someone who enjoys combining product engineering with platform thinking, improving developer workflows, and building systems that scale across teams and domains.\nWhat you’ll be doing\nOwning the Foundation: the runtime, build, deployment, and developer experience that 250+ MFEs and hundreds of engineers depend on every day.\nEvolving Our Micro-Frontend Architecture: improve composition, isolation, and shared dependency strategies so feature teams can move fast.\nProduct and Planning: Independently drive projects from idea to production: breaking down ambiguous problems into clear technical plans, estimating delivery, identifying risks early, and delivering high-quality solutions in a timely manner.\nSupporting Engineering Excellence: Champion best practices, raise the bar for code quality, and turn lessons learned into platform improvements.\nLong-Term Thinking: Balance short-term feature unblockers with the long-term health, security, and maintainability of the platform.\nAgentic Development: Build the foundations that let AI agents work autonomously on our platform, including agent instructions, reusable skills, tool integrations, guardrails, and the automated checks that make agent-authored changes safe to ship.\nAI Fluency: Work agent-first in your own day-to-day: delegate implementation to agents, and focus your judgment on direction, architecture, and verifying outcomes.\nThis role can be based in our Berlin tech hub. Read more about our hybrid setup here.\nFeel free to check out the Wolt Tech Blog for more insight into our culture and technology.\nOur humble expectations\nProven expertise in building production frontend applications using TypeScript and React.\nSolid backend knowledge, comfortable owning and operating Node.js services that support frontend infrastructure.\nStrong knowledge of frontend build tools, bundlers, and module systems, and the ability to evolve them as the platform grows.\nTrack record of diagnosing and resolving complex performance, reliability, or DX issues in large frontend codebases.\nExperience driving technical initiatives across multiple engineering teams and stakeholders.\nStrong stakeholder management skills: aligning priorities, managing expectations, and communicating trade-offs clearly with partner teams and leadership.\nStrong communication skills and a collaborative, platform-mindset approach to working with feature teams.\nStrong documentation skills, including experience writing RFCs or ADRs.\nNice to Haves\nExperience with micro-frontend architecture.\nFrontend platform engineering experience.\nExperience building shared component libraries used by many product teams.\nHands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, deployment processes, and cloud infrastructure for frontend workloads.\nExperience or interest in observability and reliability (SRE).\nExperience building tooling or workflows for autonomous AI coding agents (e.g., agent instructions, skills, MCP servers, or evaluating agent-generated code).\nWhat’s in it for you\nImpact: Build and shape the platform that thousands of people depend on.\nScale: Work on real platform problems behind 250+ MFEs with hundreds of monthly contributors.\nCollaboration: Partner with talented engineers, designers, and operators across companies to make their daily work faster and better.\nGrowth: Take on deep technical challenges across frontend architecture, agentic development, DX, and improving engineering efficiency.\nCulture: Be part of a diverse, open-minded team that values creativity, autonomy, and continuous learning.\n\nOur Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion\nWe’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.\nBeware of recruitment scams: DoorDash, Deliveroo, and Wolt will never ask you to pay money or share sensitive financial information during hiring - learn more about our legitimate recruiting process at Recruitment Scam Awareness - DoorDash.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7011,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Delivery","Marketplaces","Online Groceries"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T12:46:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":49,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wolt-senior-software-engineer-operations-foundations","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wolt-senior-software-engineer-operations-foundations.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T05:07:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8430,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":56679},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=56679"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwolt-senior-software-engineer-operations-foundations"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwolt-senior-software-engineer-operations-foundations"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwolt-senior-software-engineer-operations-foundations"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wolt-senior-software-engineer-operations-foundations\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwolt-senior-software-engineer-operations-foundations"}]}
