Job description

Bolt is one of the fastest growing startups in the world with over 30M happy customers in 30+ countries, from Europe to Mexico to Africa. We’re building the future of transport – one platform that connects you with cars, motorcycles, scooter sharing, and anything else you need to move around in your city. Fast, convenient and affordable for everyone, as transport should be.

Bolt engineering teams are working on unique product challenges: complex algorithms for demand prediction, optimal real-time pricing, routing, fraud detection, distributed systems and much more. Volumes are growing at a steady pace.

This is once in a lifetime opportunity in a massively disrupting urban transportation area. While company is well-backed by strong investors and top talent, it’s small enough for every individual to have a big impact on its future and as well benefit from sky-rocketing equity package!

Let’s build the future of transportation together!

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing and building Bolt's growing backend systems
• Coding mostly in Node.js and TypeScript (previous experience with Node.js is not required)
• Proactively fixing upcoming bugs and solving technical challenges
• Contributing ideas to our product development roadmap

We are not really looking for Node.js experts, but for cross-language engineers for whom a specific stack is just a tool to solve a problem, not the solution itself.

Requirements

• Experience in Node.js / C++ /Java or any OO language
• A university degree in a technical subject (Computer science, Mathematics or similar)
• 4+ years of experience in software development
• Good English and communication skills
• Solid understanding of algorithms and data structures
• Experience with any SQL (MySQL/PostgreSQL)

You’ll get extra credit for:

• Experience with micro-service and distributed systems
• Interest in real-time and asynchronous systems
• Familiarity with any cloud systems (AWS, Azure, Google app engine)

Benefits

• Great compensation – motivational base pay and company stock options
• No corporate BS – we’re moving too fast for that
• Amazing personal growth experience at one of the fastest-growing startups in Europe
• Working with a motivated and talented international team, plus regular team events
• Flexible working hours – as long as you get the work done
• Monthly Bolt credit for rides
• Impactful work – you’ll have a rare opportunity to build a product literally used by millions of people across the world
