Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland Boam AI Vollzeit
Ship & run backend systems that turn messy signals into truth

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 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 Do
  • Design and build resilient backend services and APIs
  • Own critical data pipelines from ingestion to enrichment to delivery
  • Prepare our systems for 100x data growth over the next three years
  • 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
  • Raise the engineering bar through design reviews, pairing, and mentorship
  • 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...
  • 5+ years building and operating production backend systems
  • Strong experience with Scala, Python or functional / JVM languages
  • Comfortable with distributed systems, data modeling, and high-volume pipelines
  • Enjoy greenfield work: from first principles design to deploy and monitoring
  • Thrive without heavy process, QA buffers, or endless safeguards
  • Bias to ship, measure, and refine rather than over-architect
  • Motivated by solving real user problems, not just abstract puzzles
  • 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
  • Own mission-critical systems used by top-tier enterprise customers
  • Work directly with founders & Head of Engineering on problems that matter
  • High autonomy, real impact, and clear ownership from day one
  • Operate at the intersection of AI, data infrastructure, and enterprise workflows
  • Top-tier compensation with meaningful equity upside
  • Help build the platform, patterns, and engineering culture you can be proud of
