Software Engineer, Full Stack
Aerospace runs on software the rest of the industry stopped buying a decade ago. The system that holds every part design takes six clicks to find a part number. The system that runs the factory floor takes two years to roll out. Most aerospace OEMs have accepted this. We have not.
At Boom we are building Boomie - the integrated software platform that connects design, supply chain, manufacturing, and test into one coherent system. It is the digital backbone of how our aircraft and engines get built. We are building it ourselves because the vendors who sell aerospace software stopped innovating before most of our engineers graduated college.
We are hiring Senior Full Stack Software Engineers to own domains of Boomie end-to-end. You will sit with the aerospace engineer burning twenty minutes a day copying part numbers between systems, decide what to build, and have it in their hands by the end of the week. You will design APIs that humans and AI agents consume on equal footing, because we have no pre-AI architecture to retrofit.
What you'll do
- Own a domain of Boomie end-to-end - design, supply chain, or manufacturing - from data model through UI
- Sit with the engineers, techs, and supply chain partners you build for. Build what they actually need.
- Ship code in your first week. Ship a tool in daily use by the end of your first month.
- Design for humans and agents as first-class consumers. Build the MCP servers, schemas, and APIs that make Boom's data legible to both.
You probably have
- A track record of building complex systems of systems somewhere serious - CDN, consumer platforms, fintech, ad tech, gaming infrastructure, hard-tech startups, AI-native companies. Domain matters less than instincts.
- Real range across the stack and founder energy. You can defend an API design and a frontend state decision in the same conversation, and you have a history of taking a blank repo to something users depend on.
- Fluency with modern AI dev tools and opinions about where they help and where they don't
- Comfort embedding with non-engineering users and translating their workflows into software
You will thrive here if
- You believe the shop floor and the engineering bullpen are more interesting rooms than the conference room
- You have strong opinions, held loosely, and you'd rather be proven wrong today than right in six months
We are not the right place for engineers who want to configure enterprise software, gather requirements for three months, and ship version one to a stakeholder review board. We are exactly the right place for engineers who want to go home at night knowing the next aircraft or engine will be built faster because of code they wrote.
