Staff Engineer, Consumer Search

Wolt

Job Description

The search engineering team at Wolt is dedicated to developing venue and item search capabilities for our consumers. This team focuses on experimenting, testing, and fine-tuning our complex search features, including filtering, sorting, relevancy scoring, and managing the end-to-end consumer search architecture to deliver 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 Staff Engineer in the search team, you will have a unique opportunity to apply your expertise and experience in building similar search features at scale. Working with a small but growing team, you will have full ownership of the search feature, which is already used by over 10 million customers. In addition to hands-on high-quality coding work, you will share best practices, ensure scalable systems, mentor others, and disseminate your expertise across your group and beyond. You will contribute to ensuring we scale while maintaining engineering quality and producing uncompromising results from the product vision.

Your contributions will be visible in producing an uncompromisingly good search feature, which we are almost building from the ground up. With Wolt expanding beyond restaurants to enable various 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 requires strong communication skills to learn from and interface with our search colleagues at DoorDash and spread best practices internally at Wolt. Occasional travel to the US is required.

Our Humble Expectations

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 staff engineer role in the search domain at a large consumer organization. Experience as a coding architect is also required.

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.

Next Steps

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.

Join us today to build Wolt together.
