<title>About the role</title>

<text>

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and commercial growth — owning the backend systems that power Bolt Food's discount and promotion engine. You will help ensure our campaigns are targeted, effective, and continuously improving, working closely with product managers, data teams, restaurants, banks, and other stakeholders across the business.

This is a high-ownership, high-impact role where you will drive features and initiatives end to end, shape technical direction, and help the team build and ship with speed and confidence. You'll work primarily in Node.js and TypeScript (no prior Node.js experience needed), with some React on the frontend.
