You’ll have opportunities to: - Design, build, and scale reliable systems that power merchant experiences. - Work across the full development lifecycle – from business logic and testing to cloud infrastructure and data streaming. - Collaborate on architecture and technology choices that keep our systems simple, scalable, and efficient. - Grow your skills and knowledge by working alongside experienced teammates in an environment that values learning and experimentation. ### How We Work - Autonomy & Ownership – Our engineers have end-to-end responsibility for their services, from implementation to production. - Collaboration – Architecture and working methods are defined together, ensuring we make the best choices for long-term success. - Scalability & Simplicity – We value pragmatic solutions that keep our systems robust without unnecessary complexity.

You balance short-term needs with long-term goals, creating high-quality, scalable solutions. - Lead by example, setting high standards for work quality and managing projects effectively, even in uncertain situations. You take full ownership of your team’s work, making improvements that benefit both customers and colleagues. You regularly spot gaps and provide valuable recommendations to cross-functional partners. - Are used to being a role model and informal leader, collaborating with partner teams and mentoring both juniors and peers. - Are an excellent communicator, being succint and to the point. ### Next steps We are continuously reviewing applications, so don’t hesitate to apply today - you will hear back from us as soon as possible. You can read more about our recruitment process here. ### Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion 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. **Live in Wolt’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role. We remove it as soon as it disappears at source. ## More jobs like this - WO [Senior Backend Engineer(Go), Storage Platform](https://gurify.com/job/senior-backend-engineer-go-storage-platform-at-wolt-bb9d9b6f716f) Wolt · Berlin, Germany · 6 days ago - LE [Backend Engineer - Reporting](https://gurify.com/job/backend-engineer-reporting-at-leovegasgroup-ee0d7c2f9ca3) Leovegasgroup · Warsaw, Poland · 4 days ago - CA [Senior Backend Engineer (f/m/x)](https://gurify.com/job/senior-backend-engineer-f-m-x-at-caronsale-0f08b8c18867) Caronsale · Munich · 6 days ago - CA [Senior Backend Engineer (f/m/x)](https://gurify.com/job/senior-backend-engineer-f-m-x-at-caronsale-95a2c6caf67a) Caronsale · Munich · 6 days ago - RU [Senior Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/senior-backend-engineer-at-rubrik-f0137430ff98) Rubrik · Tel Aviv, Israel · 3 days ago - PR [Backend Engineer (VPN)](https://gurify.com/job/backend-engineer-vpn-at-proton-e35dbbacbc4f) Proton · Geneva; Barcelona; · 2 days ago ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Senior Go Backend Engineer","description":"\u003Ch3\u003EAbout Wolt\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAt Wolt, we create technology that brings joy, simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the world.
