Be Inclusive: Create and contribute to an environment where anyone can feel welcomed, supported, respected, and valued. Inclusive teams collaborate better — bring your full self, invest in others, and build the psychological safety that makes shared impact possible.
Why This Role Matters
Boostlingo's engineering org builds with an agentic framework: AI is part of how every change gets designed, written, tested, and shipped. The engineers who use that framework well, and make it better for the people around them, decide how fast and how reliably the Language Intelligence Platform improves.
We are hiring engineers who own real scope and multiply the impact of the pod they sit in.
The Opportunity
You will join Boostlingo Engineering as a senior individual contributor. Your scope depends on where you operate today. Some engineers own a system or feature area and make their pod ship faster and better. Others own multi-system or multi-pod scope and are accountable for business outcomes that trace to their technical decisions. A few set technical strategy for the org, including how the agentic framework is shaped across models, data and retrieval, and eval and safety infrastructure.
We place you by the scope you have already owned, not by years served, and we tell you where you land during the interview process.
What You'll Own
Own a system, feature area, or larger technical scope, and be the reason it exists and works
Make trade-off calls that weigh customer and business cost, not just technical elegance
Use the company agentic framework fluently every day, and improve it: add prompts, configs, workflows, and guardrails that other engineers adopt
Anticipate AI-specific failure modes such as hallucination, drift, and prompt injection in how the framework is applied
Own quality for your area, not just your own commits: keep the Gate (automated agentic testing) strong and drive escaped-defect trends down, fixing the class of problem or the system, not only the instance
Lead design discussions and write design docs (AI-drafted, human-owned) that other engineers reference
Mentor engineers and coach them on getting more from the framework
Influence decisions across pods, and at broader scope lead cross-pod initiatives, advise engineering leadership, and set direction for the org's technical strategy
Drive change: propose and run the experiment, then package what you learned
What We Are Looking For
Profile of Our Ideal Candidate
You are a force multiplier. The pod ships faster and better because you are in it, and you can point to AI as a deliberate part of how. You review AI-assisted code with the same rigor as hand-written code, and you can defend every line you ship.
You argue for the less interesting design when it is the one the customer needs. You disagree in the open, with evidence, and you keep Positive Vibes under pressure: you bring the critique and the path forward in the same breath. At broader scope, you are a steady presence in hard rooms and you deliver bad news honestly without convincing anyone it cannot be fixed.
Process Improvement Skills We're Looking For
You improve how the whole pod works, not just your own corner. You tune the Gate and agentic workflows so defects get caught earlier, turn a repeat escape into a fix at the system level, and package what you learn so other people can use it. When you improve the framework, someone else's measurable use of your work is the proof, not a shared prompt that was opened once.
What This Role Is Not
This is not a role for someone who wants to work only on their own tickets. It is not a people-management role, since you stay hands-on and lead through technical judgment. It is not for someone who treats AI output as a final answer. Years of experience alone do not place you here. The scope you have owned does.
Minimum Qualifications
7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of owning a system or feature area
Daily, fluent use of AI-assisted development, with code you understand and can defend
Experience mentor
ing other engineers and leading design discussions
Experience owning quality for a production area, including automated testing and escaped-defect trends
Clear written communication, including design docs other engineers rely on
Preferred Qualifications
Improvements to a shared AI or agentic framework that other engineers outside your team adopted
Experience leading cross-team initiatives or advising engineering leadership
Experience with models, data and retrieval, or eval and safety infrastructure
Experience setting org-level technical strategy that showed up in business results
Experience with real-time communications, interpreting, or language technology
