Product Manager - Carpool Core

BlaBlaCar is the world’s leading carpooling platform, created with one dream in mind: leveraging technology to fill the millions of empty seats on the road. We offer long- and short-distance carpooling as well as a bus marketplace, with the mission to become the go-to marketplace for shared road mobility.

Today, our community counts over 100 million travelers in 22 countries, creating a smarter, friendlier and carbon-saving transport network. Every year, our community saves 1.6 million tons of CO2e by sharing the road, equivalent to the CO2 emissions generated by Paris traffic in a year. But it doesn’t stop here – our team of 250+ engineers is developing innovative algorithms to further unlock the potential of shared travel and multiply its impact.

We’re looking for people to join our journey – people who care, who are driven by impact and innovation, and who want to thrive in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment. We offer a flexible workplace where we count on each other to take initiative. So join the ride – we can’t wait to see where it takes you.

BlaBlaCar maintains a global carpool inventory of several millions of trips published, searched & booked over its 22 countries. A back-end team is dedicated to managing this inventory, providing a simple and consistent interface to it for all teams.

- Validating & storing the publications of our drivers (incl. their route)

- Serving the internal search engine to display the results in the BlaBlaCar app & website

- Managing the lifecycle of bookings (requested, accepted, confirmed…)

- Providing key inventory information for all screens in the product requiring them

This is the core of the core of how BlaBlaCar works.

The PM on Carpool Core will be obsessed with one question: how can we generate value to our users and to BlaBlaCar by enabling the most impactful inventory-based features ?

Examples of challenges you will face : 

- Adapting the eligibility rules for the display of Boost results in the search 

- Owning the product rules & understand underlying architecture to the booking, to support all product decisions related to a key upcoming migration

- Better managing & leveraging our database of Meeting Points & Routes

- Linking the technical SLOs to the business impact
