Boosted is a B2B technology services firm that partners with leaders in fintech, insurance, and healthcare to build product engineering, data platform, and intelligent automation solutions. The company focuses on rapid-start, prototype-driven development using pre-built accelerators, cloud and payments integrations (Stripe, Google Cloud), and AI-enabled automation to modernize legacy systems and accelerate product and data initiatives for enterprise clients.

📋 Description

• Own and evolve the architecture of large, business-critical systems with a focus on scalability, reliability, and maintainability. • Lead the technical design of complex and ambiguous projects, defining clear system boundaries, tradeoffs, and implementation plans. • Set and uphold technical standards that influence work across multiple teams. • Tackle the hardest technical challenges in a project and surface risks early. • Debug and resolve complex, cross-cutting issues across services, infrastructure, and data layers. • Proactively identify systemic technical debt and lead efforts to reduce it. • Make high-quality technical decisions by balancing delivery speed, cost, reliability, and long-term impact. • Design, deploy, and operate cloud-native systems, primarily on GCP and AWS. • Plan and implement infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform. • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support reliable, repeatable deployments. • Ensure systems are observable, operable, and resilient in production environments. • Continuously look for opportunities to simplify infrastructure and reduce operational overhead and cost. • Set technical direction for backend systems by choosing the right language and architecture for the problem, with a focus on reliability, performance, and long-term ownership. • Translate business goals into clear, durable system designs, defining service boundaries and API contracts that teams can evolve with confidence. • Lead the design of data-intensive systems across ingestion, processing, storage, and serving, making explicit tradeoffs across scale, latency, cost, and correctness. • Ensure systems are operable at scale through strong data contracts, observability, failure handling, and clear ownership. • Work closely with clients to shape and refine technical solutions. • Actively question and challenge requirements to uncover the real underlying problems. • Propose alternative technical approaches when they better meet business goals or system constraints. • Communicate technical designs clearly through written documentation, diagrams, and proofs of concept. • Mentor and support other engineers through technical guidance, pairing, and reviews.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience). • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including ownership of complex production systems. • Advanced proficiency in English, both verbal and written. • Proficiency in at least one of the following programming languages: TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go, C#, or Rust. • Strong technical design skills, including the ability to design large systems from first principles. • Strong understanding of backend systems, databases, and data modeling. • Experience designing and operating REST and/or GraphQL APIs. • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (preferably AWS & GCP). • Experience with microservices, containerization (e.g. Docker), and enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines. • Experience using Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g. Terraform). • Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction beyond a single team.
