Job Specifications

Grow your ownership by building and running core services

Boam 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 Do

Help design and build of resilient backend services and APIs
Partner with senior engineers in designing systems and architectures for reliability and scale
Develop data pipelines from ingestion to enrichment to delivery
Build reliability and test coverage into the code itself – no separate QA layer
Improve performance, scalability, and observability across our stack
Work closely with data/ML to productize AI-powered agents end to end
Participate in design reviews, pairing, and shared engineering best practices
Optimize for real impact, customer outcomes, and fast iteration over theoretical perfection
Use next-gen AI tools to improve code quality and velocity

You Might Be a Fit If...

3+ years building and operating production backend systems
Experience with Scala, Python, or functional / JVM languages
Familiarity with distributed systems, data modeling, and high-volume data flows
Enjoy a mix of greenfield work and scaling existing systems
Thrive without heavy process, QA buffers, or endless safeguards
Have a bias to ship, measure, and refine rather than over-architect
Are motivated by rapid iteration and tangible customer-facing impact
Are excited to work where AI/ML is deeply embedded in the product, not bolted on

Why Boam AI

Join a no-politics, high-trust, low-ego, and high-talent team
Work on mission-critical systems used by top-tier enterprise customers
Work directly with founders and the Head of Engineering on problems that matter
High autonomy, real impact, and clear ownership on well-scoped projects from day one
Operate at the intersection of AI, data infrastructure, and enterprise workflows
Top-tier compensation with meaningful equity upside
Help shape the platform, patterns, and engineering culture you can be proud of
