Job description
Senior Software Engineer, Data Platform Insights
Company Overview
Bolt is shaping a future where cities are built for people, not cars. What started as an ambitious project of a 19-year-old in 2013 has grown into a global mobility platform used by more than 200 million customers and 4.5 million driver and courier partners across 50 countries. From ride-hailing and food delivery to scooters, e-bikes, and car-sharing, Bolt helps people move through cities every day.
Job Summary
Engineers in the Insights team play a key role in shaping Bolt’s data ecosystem. We own the infrastructure that reliably delivers quality data wherever it’s needed. Data specialists use the tools we build to model and transform raw data into reusable, analysis-ready datasets. We work across the stack - developer tools and frameworks with Python; managing infrastructure with AWS, Terraform, Databricks, and Kubernetes; automations with GitHub Actions and Airflow.
Key Responsibilities
- Own, provision, and improve the cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Databricks, Airflow) that runs 800+ daily workflows and supports thousands of data models and metrics.
- Build and maintain the internal Python tools and CI/CD pipelines that hide infrastructure complexity, so data teams can validate, test, and release their dbt models and data products more easily.
- Build and maintain the observability layers, alerting systems, and deployment pipelines that track the platform's health, uptime, and compute costs.
- Ensure customer success by defining, designing, and delivering intuitive solutions.
- Raise our product and technical quality bar by promoting software engineering best practices.
Requirements / Qualifications
- At least 5 years of software engineering experience, including hands-on work with data-intensive systems and infrastructure-as-code in cloud environments.
- Proficient in Python or another mainstream OOP language.
- Understand modern CI/CD practices and value observability, testing, and automation as core engineering principles.
- Excellent communication skills, fluent in spoken and written English, and comfortable collaborating with both technical and non-technical colleagues.
- Driven by customer success and have a track record of leading and delivering complex, cross-team projects.
- Familiar with modern data stack and platforms (Databricks, Delta Lake / Iceberg, or equivalents).
