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.\nAbout the Team\nOur Infrastructure teams build the foundation that engineers at Wolt, Deliveroo, and DoorDash build on: the compute, cloud, and networking capabilities that enable Engineering teams to develop, deploy, and run services at global scale. The EU Compute team has a specific focus on provisioning, scaling, and the efficient operation of GPU infrastructure for AI and ML workloads. This is an emerging space with plenty of greenfield opportunities.\nWe're looking for a Staff Engineer to be a hands-on technical leader for this infrastructure work that crosses team and brand boundaries. You'll set direction for the platform, turn complex problems into deliverable plans, write and review production code, and help other engineers make sound decisions. It's an exciting time to join: we're building a global platform and the choices made now will shape how engineers across the company ship for years.\nWhat you’ll be doing\nYou'll own some of the hardest infrastructure problems in the company and make the platform easier to operate and safer to build on. We’re determined to build great platform products and user experiences, and you’ll be pivotal in making this reality.\nDay-to-day in this role you’ll:\nSet technical direction for shared AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure, balancing reliability, security, developer experience, and cost.\nLead substantial initiatives from design through rollout and operation, coordinating dependencies and decisions across Wolt, Deliveroo and DoorDash, focusing on workloads targeting GPUs.\nEvolve Kubernetes clusters, cloud networking, identity, and infrastructure provisioning to support growing and varied workloads.\nBuild reusable Terraform patterns and self-service tooling that help teams provision infrastructure safely and consistently.\nImprove deployment and operational practices, including GitOps, observability, capacity planning, incident response and recovery.\nUse production signals and developer feedback to find platform friction, choose where to invest and measure whether changes actually help.\nAssist with supporting the platform, with deep focus on GPU infrastructure, as well as broad focus on compute in general.\nGracefully sunset legacy infrastructure and tooling, and create strategies to reduce toil.\nMentor engineers through design reviews, implementation and incidents, raising the quality of infrastructure work across teams.\nOur humble expectations\nDeep experience building and operating Kubernetes and AWS infrastructure in production. Familiarity with GPU workloads and orchestration is a plus.\nStrong software engineering skills: you use Go, Python or a similar language to build maintainable tools and automation.\nExperience with infrastructure as code (we use Terraform) and with designing systems that other engineering teams depend on.\nA track record of leading complex technical work across teams, including architectural decisions, delivery, and operational follow-through. You have the breadth to collaborate and design across team and domain boundaries, and the depth to have hands-on impact.\nStrong judgment on trade-offs in distributed systems, networking, security, reliability, and cloud cost.\nClear communication, and the ability to bring people together around a practical technical direction.\nWhat we offer\nScope and influence. Shape infrastructure used globally, while staying close to the engineering. Your work will help product teams ship services with greater ease and confidence.\nReal problems at global scale. Multi-cluster Kubernetes, AI / ML workloads, cloud networking, GitOps, and progressive delivery across a global company.\nAutonomy and ownership. Set direction and see it through from design to operation, with the backing of a global engineering organisation spanning Europe and the US.\nGrowth. Room to expand your scope, whether through deeper technical leadership or broader cross-domain influence.\nGreat people. Work with talented engineers and leaders in a diverse, international environment, mentoring and learning from others.\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":5399,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Delivery","Marketplaces","Online Groceries"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T20:28:08Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":58,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wolt-staff-engineer-eu-infrastructure","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wolt-staff-engineer-eu-infrastructure.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T03:06:24Z","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":4081,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"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-staff-engineer-eu-infrastructure"},{"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-staff-engineer-eu-infrastructure"},{"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-staff-engineer-eu-infrastructure"},{"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-staff-engineer-eu-infrastructure\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwolt-staff-engineer-eu-infrastructure"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3292114}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"wolt.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3292114},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
