About this role

Raise the security bar while scaling Boam AI’s core backend

Boam AI builds managed data solutions that turn 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 Security & Backend Engineer, you will own core pieces of our Scala + Python backend while raising the bar on how we protect data, systems, and customers. You will design and build backend services, shape secure-by-default patterns, and lead practical security work across authentication, authorization, data protection, and infrastructure. This is a role for someone who enjoys hard backend problems and has a meaningful security background, but does not want a purely specialized security seat.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and ship reliable, scalable services with senior engineers

  • Work on data pipelines from ingestion to enrichment to delivery

  • Build and operate backend services and APIs that power the core product

  • Embed secure-by-default patterns in services, data flows, and infrastructure

  • Identify risks early in product design and propose pragmatic solutions

  • Guide the engineering team toward secure defaults in code, infrastructure, and workflows

  • Harden cloud environments, networks, and services to reduce the attack surface

  • Work with ML and data teams on secure handling of models and data

  • Partner with customers to ensure their integrations with our platform are safe and seamless

You Might Be a Fit If...

  • 5+ years building and operating production backend systems

  • Owned security-sensitive systems (auth, permissions, secrets, data access controls)

  • Strong skills in Python or Scala, ideally both over time

  • Applied secure practices across data, code, and infrastructure

  • Comfortable with modern cloud deployments and IaC

  • Hands-on with security reviews, threat modeling, and hardening

  • Enjoy balancing new feature delivery with long-term hardening and scale

  • Thrive without heavy process or QA buffers and own what you ship

  • Motivated by real user impact and keeping critical systems safe

Why Boam AI

  • Join a no-politics, high-trust, low-ego, high-talent team

  • Own backend and security work on mission-critical systems

  • Work directly with founders and the Head of Engineering

  • High autonomy, clear ownership, and visible impact from day one

  • Operate at the intersection of AI, data, security, and enterprise workflows

  • Top-tier compensation with meaningful equity upside

  • Help shape our security posture, patterns, and engineering culture
