Backend Engineer Grow your ownership by building and running core servicesBoam AI builds managed data solutions that transform messy, unstructured signals from public, private, and proprietary sources into structured, reliable, and always up-to-date intelligence on millions of SMBs and enterprises worldwide. These agentic systems power CRMs, data warehouses, AI products, and mission-critical decisions across the enterprise.As a Backend Engineer, you will help build core parts of our Scala + Python data and agent infrastructure. You will contribute to backend services and data pipelines, work closely with senior engineers on system design, and help scale the systems that keep our data fresh, our APIs fast, and our customers’ workflows moving. This is a role for someone who has solid experience in production systems and wants to grow into more ownership on a small, senior team.What You’ll DoHelp design and build of resilient backend services and APIsPartner with senior engineers in designing systems and architectures for reliability and scaleDevelop data pipelines from ingestion to enrichment to deliveryBuild reliability and test coverage into the code itself – no separate QA layerImprove performance, scalability, and observability across our stackWork closely with data/ML to productize AI-powered agents end to endParticipate in design reviews, pairing, and shared engineering best practicesOptimize for real impact, customer outcomes, and fast iteration over theoretical perfectionUse next-gen AI tools to improve code quality and velocityYou Might Be a Fit If...3+ years building and operating production backend systemsExperience with Scala, Python, or functional / JVM languagesFamiliarity with distributed systems, data modeling, and high-volume data flowsEnjoy a mix of greenfield work and scaling existing systemsThrive without heavy process, QA buffers, or endless safeguardsHave a bias to ship, measure, and refine rather than over-architectAre motivated by rapid iteration and tangible customer-facing impactAre excited to work where AI/ML is deeply embedded in the product, not bolted onWhy Boam AIJoin a no-politics, high-trust, low-ego, and high-talent teamWork on mission-critical systems used by top-tier enterprise customersWork directly with founders and the Head of Engineering on problems that matterHigh autonomy, real impact, and clear ownership on well-scoped projects from day oneOperate at the intersection of AI, data infrastructure, and enterprise workflowsTop-tier compensation with meaningful equity upsideHelp shape the platform, patterns, and engineering culture you can be proud ofOur Hiring ProcessOur process is fast, structured, and transparent — built to respect your time and surface real mutual fit1.
