Your mission
A great travel experience doesn’t end once the “Book” button is clicked. At BlaBlaCar, ensuring peace of mind and flexibility after the purchase is the mission of the Post-booking squad. Whether it’s accessing an e-ticket, managing a ride plan, or handling cancellations and exchanges, their role is to provide a seamless, trustable, and transparent experience that supports passengers every step of the way until they reach their destination.

You will be at the heart of BlaBlaCar’s transformation into a global marketplace, tackling the challenge of unifying post-booking services for carpool, bus, and train supplies into a single, high-performance architecture.
You will achieve this by partnering closely with a dedicated Product Manager, a Product Designer, and our Data team to define the vision, execute the roadmap, and drive a culture of technical excellence across the company.
