Full Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Senior Backend Software Engineer to join our teams in Tallinn. 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.

We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or disability. Our ultimate goal is to make cities for people, not cars, and we need your help to achieve this mission! About the role As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for architecting, designing, developing, and deploying Bolt's growing backend systems. That will mostly happen via coding in Node.js and TypeScript (PS: no previous experience with Node.js is needed). You will be closely collaborating with key internal stakeholders to determine how to scalably design backend systems and APIs to meet their needs. Main tasks and responsibilities: Architecting, designing, developing, and deploying Bolt's growing backend systems. Contributing ideas and constructive feedback to our product development roadmap. Helping lead features/initiatives from idea to positive execution. Working closely with Product to slice and dice scope and deliver piece by piece. Sharing your knowledge by giving tech talks, and promoting appropriate tech and engineering best practices in and outside of the team. 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. About you: You thrive in fast-paced, customer-feedback-driven environments with empathy for end-users. You excel in making data-driven, metric-based decisions, and leading initiatives to
