About the role

  • Now serving thousands of renters, Boom is led by second-time founder Rob Whiting https://www.linkedin.com/in/robwhiting/ (ex-BCG, Rubicon).
  • AI is central to Boom's vision on two fronts.
  • Internally, we use AI to make every team at Boom move faster, from engineering and product to operations, customer success, and sales.

Responsibilities

  • Drive Boom's internal AI productivity: tooling, workflows, and automations that help every team (engineering, operations, customer success, sales) do more with less
  • Own the full agent stack: prompts, tools, memory, retrieval, orchestration, evals, and observability
  • Build the eval and feedback loops that let us improve agents safely without regressions: offline evals, online metrics, and human review queues
  • Partner with product and leadership to pick the right AI bets (customer-facing and internal) and ship them
  • 5+ years in web development with at least 1-2 years building production LLM features or agents. Hands-on with Anthropic/OpenAI APIs and agent patterns (tool use, structured outputs, RAG, multi-step planning)
  • We're expanding our engineering team to meet the growing demands of our B2B partners and B2C users.
  • Externally, we're building the agentic operational layer for residential real estate: standalone agents (leasing, application, underwriting) and AI woven across every product.
  • We're looking for an AI Engineer to ship production-grade customer-facing agents, drive Boom's internal AI productivity, and push the state of what AI can do in our space.

Nice to have

  • Strong communicator and self-starter in a fast-paced, early-stage environment.
  • Comfortable championing AI adoption with non-technical teammates and meeting them where they are
  • Plus: voice AI stacks (LiveKit, Deepgram, ElevenLabs), vector stores and retrieval pipelines, AWS, and Terraform

Skills

  • Help shape how we hire, how we work with AI, and how we operate as an engineering team
  • You're already running AI coding agents autonomously, including overnight, to ship. Daily Claude Code use is table stakes

Compensation

  • Competitive salary with stock options
