Courier Group consists of several amazing teams responsible for logistics optimization, logistics growth, courier earnings, supply and demand forecasting and providing top notch courier onboarding and delivery experiences. We strive to always use the latest Scala version in our services which allows us to benefit from the latest language features. So if you’re into functional programming and would like to be surrounded by like minded people, we have a lot to offer, like joining one of the following teams to start with! ????
Courier Employment Team is a brand new team with a mission to provide effective tools for managing the practicalities of courier employment. In countries like Germany Wolt, our Courier Partners are in an employment relationship with Wolt, so being able to effectively manage things like absences and working hours has a big impact on the courier experience and efficiency of the delivery platform. This is a greenfield project, so you’ll be building a beautiful product from the ground up and integrating it with external systems, like HR and payroll as well as collaborating a lot with our Courier Onboarding team. In this team the backend is beautifully powered by Scala while the frontend is built in Typescript (React) and React Native. Wolt has a very strong community around Scala, so there are good opportunities to collaborate and learn from others!
Courier Onboarding Team in this ecosystem is the very first gear of the Courier Group and Wolt - it’s where everything starts for our Courier Partners as we are the ones helping them to become one! This story begins with us being able to provide work opportunities for people, so our work is not only impactful for the company, it is also meaningful for us as individuals. ???? The projects in this team are super interesting and come with many nuances: together with your team you’ll be working on the tools needed to onboard our Courier Partners as fast and as smoothly as we can. To do that we work with Scala on the backend and React TS and React Native on the frontend. Since we work with Courier Partner onboarding within the 25 countries Wolt operates in, you’ll learn to navigate the many country-specific regulations, see how people in different countries use our system, what challenges there are that we can solve, and, at the end of the day, figure out how can we make our operations team’s life easier!
