Bolt is on a mission to democratize commerce.

And revolutionizing ecommerce is only half of the equation—we’re also transforming the way we work. At Bolt, we have created a work environment where people learn to drive impact, take risks and make big bets, and grow from feedback, all while feeling welcomed and accepted for who they are. Come join us on the adventure today!

Bolt (bolt.com) is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us build Bolt Checkout Everywhere - a product that enables any retailer to send on any channel.

We’re looking for a passionate Senior Software Engineer with very good English skills that possesses hands-on product engineering experience and a deep understanding of the Software Craftsmanship mindset to join our engineering team based in Poland.

About our tech & team

Checkout Everywhere, is a small cross-functional team based in US and Europe, building a whole new offering within the Bolt ecosystem. We value relations and solutions more than languages and processes (although these are also important!). We strive for developing a fair and healthy workplace with the culture of inclusiveness in mind, where you're responsible for your colleagues as well as for your own work. We believe it is possible to have fun and learn amazing things with great people around you, while doing meaningful work in a sustainable way. Be good and do good!

About our tech

In order to enable commerce everywhere, our main ongoing technical challenge is to grow the transactional inventory of rich products, refine it and allow our partners to use these products on their surfaces - websites, mobile apps or literally anything. We work with high-frequency product changes - importing large volumes of products from other sources into one data lake, refining them using AI & ML, all based on the Kafka event-stream, to then be available on a near-zero latency checkout.

Our tech stack:

- .NET Core, Go, Node.JS

- React, TypeScript, Astro

- MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Kafka, SNS/SQS

- AWS, Netlify, K8S, Github Actions 

We believe in pragmatic approach and proven choices, but we are not afraid of experimenting. Our code is mostly strongly typed and well tested and hosted on AWS. Our fundamental organizational and architectural direction is to design teams around full autonomy and responsibility over their product and engineering, but with the strong focus on transparency and written culture (ie. technical design process). On top of that, product teams are supported by the platform team, whose goal is to increase the developer experience and make the engineering experience seamless. 

About you

You will:

  • Design, build and maintain the Bolt Checkout Everywhere platform and services
  • Work closely with a team of highly skilled engineers and leaders based in Poland and US
  • Have a chance to work with the actual core system and contribute from day one
  • Have a direct impact on the future of our product and freedom to introduce your own ideas and implementations

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of commercial experience as a software engineer, ideally in both statically and dynamically typed languages
  • Experience working with scalable, low latency backend systems, event-driven architectures and microservices, high-performance data pipelines, streaming
  • In-depth understanding of protocols, standards and design patterns like REST or SOLID
  • Very good English command (oral and written)
  • Passion to build awesome things

Bonus points:

  • Expertise in any of the following: .NET, Go, Mongo, ElasticSearch, K8S, AWS, ETL processing

Expected Yearly Compensation: 33,000 PLN - 42,000 PLN/month b2b, depending on the candidate seniority

  • Comprehensive health coverage: Medical, dental and vision

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
