Senior Full Stack Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join Bolt's Delivery Campaigns team in Tallinn. You will have the opportunity to build and scale the systems that power Bolt Food's discount and promotion engine — designing campaigns that balance user delight with partner ROI across 50+ markets. If you are passionate about both backend and frontend engineering and want your work to drive measurable growth for millions of users and hundreds of restaurant and bank partners, this role will perfectly suit you.

About Us

With over 200 million customers in 50+ countries, Bolt is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Europe and Africa. And it's all thanks to our people.

We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or disability.

Our ultimate goal is to make cities for people, not cars, and we need your help to achieve this mission!

About The Role

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and commercial growth — owning the backend systems that power Bolt Food's discount and promotion engine. You will help ensure our campaigns are targeted, effective, and continuously improving, working closely with product managers, data teams, restaurants, banks, and other stakeholders across the business.

This is a high-ownership, high-impact role where you will drive features and initiatives end to end, shape technical direction, and help the team build and ship with speed and confidence. You'll work primarily in Node.js and TypeScript (no prior Node.js experience needed), with some React on the frontend.

Main tasks and responsibilities:

• Designing, building, and maintaining the backend and frontend systems powering Bolt Food's discount and promotion engine.
• Coding mostly in TypeScript (previous experience with Node.js / React is not required, but always welcomed).
• Paying attention to detail, proactively fixing upcoming bugs, and solving technical challenges.
• Collaborating with product managers to translate business requirements into scalable, reliable solutions.
• Contributing to a strong engineering culture through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and architecture discussions.
• Working cross-functionally with teams across Bolt to deliver complex, high-impact initiatives with clear communication and timelines.
  
  
  

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.

About you:

• You have 4+ years of software development experience and a university degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
• You have solid experience with JavaScript and Node.js, C++, Java, or another object-oriented programming language.
• You have a strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, SQL databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL), and experience designing and developing APIs.
• You have knowledge of modern frontend frameworks and are comfortable working across the full stack when needed.
• You've worked in product-focused engineering environments and can independently own projects from concept to delivery with minimal support.
• You have excellent English communication skills and can effectively drive complex cross-team collaboration with clear timelines and structured stakeholder management.
  
  
  

Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying if you feel you’re the kind of person described above!

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.
• Some perks may differ depending on your location and role.
