About The Role

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.

• 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.
