Who is Boulevard?

Boulevard provides the first and only client experience platform for appointment-based, self-care businesses. We empower our customers to give their clients more of the magical moments that matter most.

Come do the best work of your life at Boulevard.

Boulevard is looking for a product-minded Senior Software Engineer to build experiences and systems that power appointment-based businesses and the professionals and clients who rely on them every day. You'll work closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to solve meaningful customer problems, taking ownership of technical solutions from design through production.

Our engineers work across a modern, event-driven platform with opportunities to specialize in frontend, backend, or work across the stack. We value strong engineering fundamentals over experience with any specific technology. Our backend is built with Elixir and PostgreSQL on AWS; our frontends use React and TypeScript; and GraphQL connects experiences across the platform. Prior Elixir experience is not required—we'll teach you.

We believe engineers who master AI tools will define the next decade of software, and we want Boulevard to be where you do that. Coding agents like Claude Code are in daily use across our team, and we expect you to use them to move faster on the routine work.

What you'll do here:

• Own meaningful product and technical initiatives from design and scoping through implementation, launch, and iteration.
• Build reliable, maintainable systems that power experiences including real-time scheduling, client booking, marketing automation, and the tools professionals use to run their businesses.
• Partner closely with Product and Design to understand customer problems, evaluate tradeoffs, and develop thoughtful technical solutions.
• Contribute to technical design and architecture in your area while balancing scalability, maintainability, performance, and delivery speed.
• Build across our platform based on your area of expertise, whether that's React and TypeScript on the frontend, backend services and event-driven systems, or end-to-end product development.
• Own the quality of what you ship through testing, code review, observability, and ongoing production support.
• Collaborate with and mentor other engineers through code reviews, technical discussions, and knowledge sharing.
• Continuously improve how we build and ship software, including thoughtful use of AI-assisted development tools.

What you'll need to thrive:

• Experience: 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production applications.
• Technical fundamentals: Strong software engineering fundamentals and the ability to design clean, maintainable solutions to complex problems.
• Ownership: A track record of independently taking meaningful features or technical initiatives from definition through production.
• Product mindset: Experience partnering closely with Product and Design to understand customer needs and turn them into effective technical solutions.
• Systems thinking: A habit of solving the class of problem, not just the instance in front of you.
• Technical judgment: Ability to evaluate tradeoffs, make sound engineering decisions, and communicate the reasoning behind them.
• Collaboration: A history of working effectively with engineers and cross-functional partners and contributing to the growth of those around you.
• Curiosity: An eagerness to learn unfamiliar technologies and solve new problems. Prior experience with Elixir is not required.

Our tech stack:

• Backend: Elixir and PostgreSQL running on AWS, event-driven via EventBridge, SQS, and Oban.
• API: GraphQL, with TypeScript types generated from the schema across frontends.
• Frontend: React and TypeScript across our business dashboard and client booking experience; React Native for mobile.
• Tooling: Infrastructure as code with Terraform, Datadog for observability, Snowflake for analytics, and AI coding agents like Claude Code.

How we'll take care of you:

• Competitive base pay and performance bonus eligibility.
• Equity participation for all full-time employees.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance coverage.
• Annual HSA employer contribution for eligible plans.
• 12 weeks of fully paid U.S. parental leave.
• Flexible paid time off plus 10 U.S. company holidays.
• Remote support including a home office setup allowance and monthly WFH reimbursement.
• Quarterly Boulevard Bucks to prioritize your well-being and stay connected to the industry.
