Senior Backend Engineer Ship & run backend systems that turn messy signals into truthBoam 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 Senior Backend Engineer, you will own core parts of our Scala + Python data and agent infrastructure. You will design, build, and scale existing and greenfield systems that keep our data fresh, our APIs fast, and our customers’ workflows moving. This is a role for someone who wants real ownership over hard technical problems, with minimal safety nets and a small, senior team.What You’ll DoDesign and build resilient backend services and APIsOwn critical data pipelines from ingestion to enrichment to deliveryPrepare our systems for 100x data growth over the next three yearsBuild 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 endRaise the engineering bar through design reviews, pairing, and mentorshipOptimize 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...5+ years building and operating production backend systemsStrong experience with Scala, Python or functional / JVM languagesComfortable with distributed systems, data modeling, and high-volume pipelinesEnjoy greenfield work: from first principles design to deploy and monitoringThrive without heavy process, QA buffers, or endless safeguardsBias to ship, measure, and refine rather than over-architectMotivated by solving real user problems, not just abstract puzzlesExcited 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 teamOwn mission-critical systems used by top-tier enterprise customersWork directly with founders & Head of Engineering on problems that matterHigh autonomy, real impact, and clear ownership from day oneOperate at the intersection of AI, data infrastructure, and enterprise workflowsTop-tier compensation with meaningful equity upsideHelp build 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.
