About Bolt

From ride-hailing and food delivery to scooters, e-bikes, and car-sharing, Bolt helps people move through cities every day. Small, autonomous teams drive this work, combining the speed and ownership of a startup with the scale of a global technology company backed by more than €1bn in funding.

And we're just getting started.

Why join Bolt?

• Build the future of mobility and help transform how people live and move in cities.
• Tackle challenges at scale that span technology, operations, regulation, and growth.
• Take real ownership early. Small, lean teams mean your decisions matter from day one, and you'll learn fast alongside some of the best people in the industry.
• Join one of Europe's leading technology companies, backed by world-class investors including Sequoia.

About the role

We're looking for a technical and strategic Senior Product Manager to own Bolt's Routing and Live Traffic domain - the core infrastructure that powers accurate ETAs, fair pricing, and efficient dispatch across every ride.

Routing and traffic prediction must be fast, precise, and reliable for millions of trips across dozens of markets. You will own Bolt's routing APIs, ETA models, and live traffic products: the shared infrastructure that matching, pricing, rider and driver applications all depend on.

This is a Platform team role requiring close partnership with data science, engineering, mapping, matching, and pricing teams.

Main tasks and responsibilities

• Own the strategy, roadmap, and delivery of Bolt's routing APIs, ETA adjustment models, and live traffic products end-to-end.
• Drive quality improvements across routing KPIs - ETA accuracy, distance precision, and traffic prediction - and define how success is measured.
• Build and evolve live traffic models that identify and predict the evolution of congestion using Bolt's internal movement data.
• Understand and manage the effects of routing changes on Bolt marketplace.
• Identify commercialisation opportunities for Bolt's traffic data in underserved markets.

About you

• You have experience building and scaling routing, traffic, location technology, or other complex platform products in fast-paced environments.
• You have knowledge of routing engines, live traffic models, and dynamic road event systems, with the ability to solve technically complex product problems.
• You work effectively with Engineering, Data Science, and Machine Learning teams to improve model performance, accuracy, and product outcomes.
• You use data to evaluate trade-offs and make informed product decisions that maximise customer and business impact.
• You recognize how routing quality influences marketplace performance, including matching efficiency, pricing accuracy, and operational reliability.
• You communicate clearly with technical and business stakeholders, translating complex concepts into actionable product priorities.

Why you'll love it here

• Accelerate your professional growth with unique career opportunities.
• Enjoy a rewarding salary and stock options, knowing that as Bolt succeeds, so do you.
• Take care of your physical and mental health with our wellness perks.
• Celebrate 5 years at Bolt with a 1-month paid sabbatical to recharge.
• Connect with colleagues at annual company events and smaller team gatherings.
• Balance flexibility and in-person collaboration with our hybrid model, including at least 12 monthly in-office days.
