Responsibilities
Integrate core systems for design, parts, supply chain, and production into a single connected workflow
Build full-stack internal apps that give engineers a clear, intuitive interface to act on complex data
Design pragmatic data models that make cross-discipline engineering and manufacturing data reliable and traceable
Develop APIs, services, and adapters to move and transform data across tools that were never meant to talk to each other
Expose complex engineering and production data in ways that improve visibility, decision-making, and speed for the entire team
Collaborate directly with aerospace engineers, embedding in their teams to translate workflow needs into working software
Iterate quickly with engineers, shipping incremental improvements that accelerate workflows week by week
Deliver solutions end-to-end, from quick prototypes to production-ready, monitored, and documented systems
Shape the foundations of Boom’s design-to-build platform, influencing how future aircraft will be designed and built
Qualification
Required
Zero-to-one builder — founder energy with a track record of actually shipping products and adapting quickly
Backend engineering expertise in APIs, services, and integrations (Python, Node.js, or similar), with experience handling authentication (e.g. OAuth, JWTs) and working with third-party SDKs
Frontend development skills with modern frameworks (React/TypeScript or equivalent) to build clean, responsive UIs for internal users
Database fluency across relational and document stores (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, etc.), with strong skills in schema design, migrations, and query optimization
Data integration experience, including ETL pipelines, event-driven architectures, or messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS)
Cloud and DevOps know-how with AWS or another major provider, plus CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, etc.) and containerization (e.g. Docker)
Collaboration mindset, comfortable embedding directly with engineering teams and translating workflow pain points into software solutions
Adaptability and ownership, thriving in ambiguity and eager to build systems from scratch in a fast-moving startup environment
To conform to U.S. Government aerospace technology export regulations (ITAR and EAR), applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
Preferred
Experience working in industries where software and hardware deeply intersect (aerospace, automotive, robotics, or advanced manufacturing)
Familiarity with engineering and production systems such as CAD, PLM, ERP, or MES - even if only from integration or API exposure
Background building robust data pipelines, event-driven systems, or real-time dashboards that span multiple data sources
Comfort introducing engineering best practices (testing frameworks, observability, performance monitoring) into greenfield internal platforms
Passion for working directly with end users, watching how they work, and iterating to make tools that feel tailor-made
Benefits
Long-term incentives/equity
A flexible PTO policy
Many other progressive benefits
