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. Working at Wolt isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely exciting.

So, if you’re a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, this could be the ride of your life. Wolt is part of DoorDash - together we form one of the world’s largest local commerce platforms.

Own applied ML problems end to end: frame the problem, analyze data, develop models, define offline evaluation, run experiments and monitor production performance. Develop methods that balance relevance with product and customer needs, such as diversity, availability, business constraints and changing
