About Us
BlaBlaCar is a travel technology company best known for enabling people to share car journeys and, in some markets, book coach travel. Its core idea is to make long distance travel more affordable and efficient by matching drivers who have spare seats with passengers heading the same way, then providing the product and trust layer that makes those trips practical. That includes search and matching, payments and pricing, identity and reputation features, and the operational tooling needed to support a large two sided marketplace.
The service is used by everyday travellers, including commuters, students, and people visiting friends and family, as well as drivers looking to offset the cost of a trip they were already planning to take. Because the platform depends on liquidity and trust, BlaBlaCar’s user experience is shaped by reliability, safety, and clear communication. Job seekers should expect a strong focus on building features that work across different regions and travel behaviours, and on maintaining quality as the network scales.
Although BlaBlaCar is not a SaaS company in the classic sense of selling subscriptions to businesses, it operates like a mature internet platform with many of the same disciplines you see in SaaS at scale. It runs a complex product with high traffic, multiple markets, and a need for robust data, experimentation, and continuous delivery. Teams are likely to work with marketplace dynamics, mobile and web product development, payments, fraud prevention, customer support systems, and the internal platforms that help the organisation ship safely and learn quickly.
People who thrive at BlaBlaCar often enjoy solving real world problems with software, especially where technology meets operations and human behaviour. Product managers, software engineers, data analysts and data scientists, security and risk specialists, designers, and customer operations leaders are all likely to find relevant challenges. Experience with mobile first products, trust and safety, growth analytics, localisation, and building for diverse regulatory and cultural contexts can be particularly valuable, as can an ability to collaborate across functions when trade offs affect both user experience and marketplace health.
For candidates, the appeal is often the mission driven nature of the work and the tangible impact on how people travel. Building and maintaining a trusted marketplace tends to create meaningful, long term product problems rather than short term feature work, and it rewards teams that care about reliability, clarity, and user safety. If you want to work on a well known European tech platform where success depends on balancing growth with trust, and where product decisions have visible effects on real journeys, BlaBlaCar is likely to be an interesting place to build your career.
