About the role

As Engineering Manager, you will lead a cross-functional engineering team (backend, mobile platforms, data science) that ships risk signals, in-trip safety features, and incident tooling used across many markets. You’ll balance user experience, growth, and operational cost against safety and risk reduction — making pragmatic tradeoffs between more friction and more exposure, between false positives and missed events, in close partnership with Product and Operations.

Main tasks and responsibilities

• Lead and grow talented Software Engineers specialising in backend, mobile platforms, and data science, building and operating systems where failures have real user and operational impact.
• Partner with Product, Analytics, and Operations to define safety metrics, guide priorities, and measure impact.
• Define and drive the team roadmap, making pragmatic tradeoffs between risk coverage, complexity, and global vs. local needs.
• Create a team setup that enables predictable delivery, good engineering quality, and healthy collaboration.
• Drive individual 1-1s to mentor and coach Software Engineers to develop skills and uncover their potential.
• Communicate context and decisions clearly to engineers, stakeholders, and leadership.

About you

• You have experience owning a product or platform area end-to-end, and can handle ambiguity — narrowing open problem spaces and moving teams from discussion to decisions.
• You have 5+ years of hands-on software development experience and a deep understanding of how to write maintainable, performant systems.
• You have strong backend engineering fundamentals, with the ability to review and challenge designs across backend services, mobile integration, and data/ML systems.
• You are comfortable working with data: metrics, experiments, dashboards, and basic statistical reasoning.
• You have led high-performing engineering teams with a proven ability to attract, inspire, and retain talent.
• You have a strong vision for the future, with a proven ability to set up engineering processes and make data-driven decisions.

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.
