About the role

Financial Automation is a newly formed team within the Revenue Assurance group, sitting at the intersection of engineering, finance, and commercial operations. We build and own the systems that automate critical financial processes - fiscalization (tax reporting), e-invoicing, and other financial flows - directly impacting Bolt's global financial operations and regulatory compliance across markets. As a Backend Engineer, you'll be a founding member of the team, designing, building and launching backend solutions for a brand-new domain. You'll architect, build, and launch the backend platforms that power Bolt's financial automation - coding mainly in Node.js and TypeScript (don't worry, you don't need to know Node.js beforehand!). You'll partner closely with Finance, Commerce, and Product stakeholders to translate complex regulatory and operational needs into scalable backend systems and APIs Bolt depends on. Product-oriented thinking is deeply ingrained in our engineering team's approach, so you'll have the chance to shape and lead initiatives end-to-end.

Main tasks and responsibilities:

Designing, developing, and deploying the scalable and reliable core platforms for financial flows ensuring data completeness, consistency, quality and compliance in different regions.
Building integrations with Bolt's existing backend services and various third-party tools and APIs.
Participate in setting the technical direction for the new domain and establishing engineering standards aligned with ITGC / DORA requirements.
Partnering with Finance, Commerce, and Product stakeholders to translate complex regulatory and operational needs into reliable automations.
Helping lead features and initiatives from idea to positive execution.
Sharing your knowledge by giving tech talks and promoting engineering best practices in and outside the team.
Main tasks and responsibilities:

About you:

You have solid backend engineering experience and a track record of designing and shipping scalable, reliable systems.
You feel at home with microservice architecture and are experienced in API design.
You have strong principles towards writing clean, simple, secure, and maintainable code.
You possess a solid understanding of algorithms and data structures.
You have empathy for stakeholders and end-users, and thrive in an environment with a fast feedback cycle.
You're eager to learn and grow into finance-adjacent domains (fintech, tax, accounting) - prior experience is a plus.
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.
