You’ll collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering teams across multiple verticals to align on a unified approach and ensure consistent, high-quality payment experiences.

Main tasks and responsibilities:

Leading and growing talented Software Engineers specialising in backend, web, and mobile platforms, building and operating systems where failures have real user and operational impact.
Defining and driving the team roadmap together with Product.

About you:

You have 5+ years of hands-on software development experience and you’re comfortable staying hands-on with coding and technical decisions when needed.
You have experience owning a product or platform area end-to-end, not just individual projects.
You’ve led high-performing engineering teams and bring strong leadership and people management skills, with a track record of hiring, growing, and retaining talent.
You’re able to balance execution with long-term vision, set up effective engineering processes, and make data-driven decisions.
You have strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills, working effectively across teams.
Nice to have: experience in payments/fintech; experience building platforms, SDKs, or reusable components.
At Bolt, using AI daily is a baseline expectation for everyone. If there’s a faster, smarter way to do your work, we expect you to find it. You’re still responsible for the output, so the standard stays high when using AI tools. Experience is valuable, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity — so if you don’t tick every box, apply anyway.
