• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
