Engineering Manager, Computing Platform

Wolt is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our EU-based Computing Platform team, a group of five engineers dedicated to developing a unified platform that powers Wolt, Deliveroo, and DoorDash. This platform simplifies backend development at scale by reducing operational overhead for product teams and facilitating easier cross-team collaboration. The Computing Platform serves as a code execution framework, enabling product teams to compose business logic into graphs, with the team responsible for the platform's runtime and operational experience.

In this role, you will lead, mentor, and grow the Computing Platform team, fostering a healthy engineering culture and ensuring strong execution habits. You will own the team's roadmap and delivery across core areas such as performance, scaling, resource management, I/O optimization, integrations, developer experience, and observability. Collaboration with adjacent platform teams and product domains will be essential to facilitate smooth adoption of the platform. Additionally, you will guide architectural and technical decisions, balancing reliability, simplicity, and long-term extensibility, while raising the bar on operational excellence by improving reliability, debuggability, and support for teams running production workloads.

The ideal candidate has at least three years of experience as an engineering manager, including directly leading and growing a team of engineers in a fast-paced environment. A strong background in backend, infrastructure, product, or platform engineering is required, with good technical judgment when working with distributed systems, runtime platforms, or developer-facing infrastructure. You should be adept at translating an ambitious platform vision into clear priorities, pragmatic execution plans, and reliable delivery. Comfort with cross-team collaboration and the ability to drive alignment and adoption among engineering, product, and platform stakeholders are essential. A deep commitment to people leadership, coaching engineers, creating clarity, and building a high-performing team culture is also expected.

This position offers the opportunity to lead a foundational platform team working on a critical backend building block. The Computing Platform is designed to enhance developer productivity, system reliability, and platform adoption across Wolt, Deliveroo, and DoorDash. You will tackle meaningful engineering leadership challenges with broad scope, including growing a strong team, shaping the platform's roadmap, and driving its adoption across multiple organizations.

Wolt fosters a dynamic and challenging work environment where you will learn, build, and ship more than in most other companies. You will be part of a team that values entrepreneurial spirit and drive, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to the company's growth and success.
