Senior Product Designer, New Bets

 

  

    We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to own the design of new products within Bolt's New Bets team. This is a 0-to-1 role across multiple early-stage bets — from premium mobility to restaurant discovery to financial services — which means real ownership, real ambiguity, and real impact.

 

    New Bets operates like a collection of autonomous startups inside Bolt. There is no playbook, no established design system, and no clear roadmap handed to you. You will define the experience from scratch, move fast, and be central to what gets built.

 

    If you thrive in early-stage environments and want to build something from the ground up, this role is for you.

 

  

 

  

  

    With over 200 million users in 50+ countries, Bolt is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Europe and Africa. And it's all thanks to our people.

 

    We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or ability.

 

    Our ultimate goal is to make cities for people, not cars. And we need your help on this mission!

  

 

  

  

    This is a hands-on individual contributor role that spans the full design process — from early discovery and concept validation through to shipped product. You will work in a small, fast-moving cross-functional team where your decisions carry real weight. You will not only execute design — you will help shape what gets built and why.

 

    Collaboration and communication are as important as craft here. You will work directly with engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders, and you are expected to lead through influence, not through process.

  

 

  

  

•     Own the design process end-to-end: from problem framing and discovery to interaction design and quality assurance at launch.
•     Turn ambiguous problem spaces into clear, well-scoped design directions that the team can move on.
•     Get close to users early. Validate concepts before they become assumptions baked into the product.
•     Prototype quickly to reduce ambiguity and create shared understanding across the team.
•     Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to align goals and keep momentum.
•     Share work openly, gather feedback, and iterate with purpose.

  

 

  

  

•     You have strong 0-to-1 experience. You are comfortable with ambiguity, know how to frame problems before solving them, and can build a coherent experience from scratch.
•     You move fast, validate with intent, and take full ownership. In a small team, you make sure nothing falls through — even if it is outside your role.
•     You lead through influence. You speak the language of product, earn trust across functions, and get people aligned around quality work.
•     You have 4+ years of product design experience with a portfolio that demonstrates end-to-end work on consumer-facing digital products.
•     You treat Figma as a baseline. You prototype with intent, communicate design rationale clearly, and bring a strong mobile-first design sensibility.
•     Experience with marketplace or multi-sided platforms (ride-hailing, food delivery, e-commerce) is a plus.

  

  

    Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying!

  

 

  

  

•     Play a direct role in shaping the future of mobility.
•     Impact millions of customers and partners in 600+ cities across 50+ countries.
•     Work in fast-moving autonomous teams with some of the smartest people in the world.
•     Accelerate your professional growth with unique career opportunities.
•     Get a rewarding salary and stock option package that lets you focus on doing your best work.
•     Enjoy the flexibility of working in a hybrid mode with a minimum of 3 days in the office each week to foster strong connections and teamwork.
•     Take care of your physical and mental health with our wellness perks.
•     Work on products used by millions of people across 50+ countries every day.
•     A design team that is taken seriously — we have a seat at the product table and are embedded in every major product team.
•     Clear career growth framework with transparent level expectations (Mid → Senior → Staff → Manager tracks).
•     Competitive salary and stock options, knowing that as Bolt succeeds, so do you.
•     Collaborative, international, and diverse design community across Tallinn, Berlin, Warsaw, and beyond.
•     Balance flexibility and in-person collaboration with our hybrid model.
