When one deploy can lock out millions. Engineering at Bolt in Tallinn
Bolt serves more than 200 million customers in 600+ cities. Much of the code behind its rides, deliveries, and rentals is written in Tallinn, where Bolt is headquartered.

This is the everyday reality for engineers like Madis Peetersoo (Engineering Manager, Delivery), Jana Lutus (Junior Software Engineer, Mobility), and Laura-Eliise Marrandi (Junior Software Engineer, Mobility).
