Bolt

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.

Your daily adventures will include:

• Architecting, designing, developing, and deploying Bolt's growing backend systems
• Collaborating with key internal stakeholders to determine how to scalably design backend systems and APIs to meet their needs
• Coding mostly in Node.js and TypeScript (previous experience with Node.js is not required)
• Contributing ideas and constructive feedback to our product development roadmap
• Sharing your knowledge by giving tech talks, and promoting appropriate tech and engineering best practices in and outside of the team
• Helping lead feature/initiatives from idea to positive execution
• Working closely with Product to slice and dice scope and deliver piece by piece
  
  

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.

We are looking for:

• Thrive in an environment that has a fast customer-feedback cycle and having empathy for the end-user
• Experience in making data-driven and metric-driven decisions
• A drive for leading initiatives and features till the end, even if the last mile is the hardest
• Experience in a microservice architecture
• Strong principles towards writing clean, simple, secure, and maintainable code
• Experience in API design
• Having a deep understanding of how to write readable, testable, maintainable, and performant code
• 5+ years of experience in software development
• Solid understanding of algorithms and data structures
• Ability to reason from first principles and grow based on previous learnings
• Thrive in a culture of well-intended reciprocal feedback
• Good English and communication skills
• University degree in a technical subject (Computer science, Mathematics, or similar) or equivalent experience in the industry
  
  

You will get extra credits for:

• Familiarity with any cloud systems (AWS, Azure, Google app engine)
• Interest in real-time and asynchronous systems
• Experience in working with relational databases
• Real-life experience of running highly available systems
• Experience building distributed high-volume systems
