Senior Software Engineer, Engineering Systems

Boom Supersonic’s mission is to make the world dramatically more accessible through a renaissance in supersonic flight. Boom is developing the Symphony supersonic engine, which powers the Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower natural gas turbine for AI. Overture will fly at twice the speed of today’s subsonic jets over water and 50% faster over land with Boomless Cruise.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
