diversity and inclusion

Diversity & Inclusion 100% respect We’re all about smart thinking and real impact. We’ve seen that the best solutions come from open debate and the confidence to ask tough questions. That’s why, at Bolt, respect isn’t about hierarchy. Here, anyone can challenge the status quo and bring the best ideas to life. Talent without barriers We want to hire the best talent. We know that great people come from all kinds of backgrounds. Our hiring practices and people processes are built to reflect that. Find your team Meritocracy above all We want a true meritocracy where people advance based on merit and aren’t disadvantaged due to demographic factors. Find your team The best idea wins We want an open culture where people can challenge each other regardless of their role or background. Debates should be fierce but respectful.

Raising awareness and training employees are the foundations of our work. Life at Bolt Our goals Setting goals We set and monitor time-bound goals to drive progress and track results.

Head of Safety and Sustainability Simona Andreas-Sou “My colleagues have been incredibly supportive and flexible, allowing me to continue developing my career while balancing motherhood. Adjusting my schedule to fit my family life resulted in fewer meetings and more productive work.” Senior Technical Support Engineer Cláudio Filipe Grilo Moreira “At Bolt, I don’t have to mask or over-explain to fit in. Being neurodivergent is seen as an asset, not a weakness. My colleagues value the focus, creativity, and fresh perspectives I bring, while respecting when I need flexibility. The support here feels genuine – from how meetings are run to how open people are to new ideas, and in the culture that encourages us to bring our full selves to work. It means I can grow in my career without compromising who I am.” Our case studies View all recent stories Micromobility May 20, 2026 Bolt partners with RTB to help visually impaired people navigate the streets safely We’ve teamed up with the leading provider of acoustic technology on light signals in Germany, RTB, to integrate Bolt scooters into their LOC.id app. The Loc.ID app has been developed It’s time for women to take the wheel May 20, 2026 Empowering diverse voices: bringing D&I to life at Bolt May 20, 2026 Celebrating diversity: LGBTQI+ perspectives on workplace inclusion May 20, 2026 We are an equal-opportunity employer We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability.
