About the role

Role focused on building and operating the core platform behind Boson’s model APIs and agentic products, with mentorship and production responsibility from day one.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the core platform infrastructure: the API serving layer, state management, policy enforcement, and execution runtime for agentic workflows — starting with well-scoped components and taking on broader ownership as you grow.
  • Help build and maintain distributed services that back our model API products, including request routing, rate limiting, and multi-tenant isolation, under the guidance of senior engineers.
  • Build and maintain pieces of our data pipelines (ETL/ELT) for API logs, usage analytics, and billing, with a focus on data correctness and freshness.
  • Develop and improve internal SDKs and libraries — writing clean, well-tested code with clear contracts that product teams can rely on.
  • Support our context and memory systems for conversational workloads: retrieval, caching, and integration with vector stores and retrieval pipelines.
  • Add observability across the platform — structured logging, tracing, and metrics — and help investigate and resolve reliability issues.
  • Collaborate with ML and product teams to integrate model serving, voice runtime, and tooling infrastructure, learning how the full stack fits together.

Qualifications

  • 0–2 years of professional software engineering experience (internships, co-ops, and strong personal or open-source projects count), or a recent CS degree with equivalent hands-on work.
  • Solid programming fundamentals and a genuine interest in backend and distributed systems — you understand concepts like concurrency and fault tolerance and are eager to apply them in production.
  • Some exposure to building backend services, APIs, or data processing — through work, coursework, or projects.
  • Proficiency in at least one language such as Python, Go, Java, Rust, or C++, and a willingness to pick up new ones.
  • Familiarity with the basics of cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), containers (Docker/K8s), version control, and CI/CD — or clear enthusiasm to learn them quickly.
  • Curiosity, strong communication, and a collaborative mindset — you ask good questions, welcome feedback, and want to grow.
