Description

Bolt is on a mission to democratize commerce. We relentlessly prioritize our retailers—putting their brands front and center while enabling frictionless shopping at any touchpoint in the customer journey. At the center of it all is our rapidly growing universal shopper network—Bolt merchants such as Deckers, Saks OFF 5TH, Revolve, and Casper can access tens of millions of shoppers, offering them a best-in-class checkout.

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!

The Data Platforms team is responsible for collecting, organizing, and analyzing all the data that is collected as the result of users interacting with our system with the goal of building machine learning and data science products to improve user experience and merchant operations as well as monitoring the well being of our systems overall.

Bolt is looking for data engineers and backend software engineers for the data platforms team. You will be working closely with all teams and cross-functional partners (including product, engineering, and data analytics) to build and improve our foundational data stack powering business analytics, machine learning, recommendations, etc. You will be responsible for creating a strategy for data ownership at Bolt and help define the data architecture, data model, and pipelines to drive understanding of Bolt’s business. 

We are looking for someone who is excited when facing big challenges, thrives when given autonomy to figure out solutions and loves diving deep into complex systems.

  • Create fault-tolerant, timely, and optimized pipelines for data ingestion powering the company’s business analytics. Evangelize best practices with the engineering, infra, analyst teams for building data models, pipelines, and materialized views. Standardize access to data across teams, and build tooling to reuse queries.
  • Partner with our AI/ML team to make it easier to do feature engineering and build a reliable data stack to power Bolt’s AI/ML products
  • Own data reliability and help assess and determine which warehousing technologies to use, when to move data between data stores, and help productionize models.

  • Familiarity with eCommerce platforms Eg: BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopify, etc.
  • Experience working with ML & generative AI data pipelines

We are at the intersection of e-commerce and payments. We collect a lot of data that is key to decision-making at Bolt.

Tech Stack

  • GCP data pipelines and warehousing (PubSub, DataFlow, BigQuery) along with some AWS data pipelines
  • DBT, DataFlow, PySpark and BigQuery for data processing
  • Terraform for maintaining infra
  • Jenkins & CircleCI for build pipelines
  • Postgres RDS is our application database

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
