boon - Technical Architect
Responsibilities
• Own the end-to-end technical architecture across the Rails product app, Python ML/CV services, agent SDK layer, and data platform — including the hard tradeoffs between enterprise customer requirements and shipping speed • Drive scalability, reliability, and cost architecture of our computer vision/LLM/VLM inference pipelines as we scale blueprint throughput by 100× • Set the technical direction for our model infrastructure — vision models, LLM orchestration, agent runtime, MLflow registry, eval harnesses, and GPU budget • Lead architectural review, raise the engineering bar through code review and design docs, and mentor senior engineers on cross-system tradeoffs • Partner with the CEO and product on the 12–18 month technical roadmap: what we build in-house, what we buy, what we deprecate, and when to invest in platform vs. features • Still write code — this is a working architect role; you'll be in incident response, PR review, and the hardest technical problems on a weekly basis • YOU’RE A GREAT FIT IF: • You've shipped production systems that handle messy real-world input — documents, PDFs, images, OCR, user-generated chaos — not just clean API-to-API services • You have strong opinions on monolith vs. services, model-in-the-loop UX, when to add complexity, and when "just add another microservice" is the wrong answer • You've built or deeply operated computer vision or LLM/agent systems in production, and you understand eval infrastructure as a first-class engineering discipline • You move fast without breaking the foundations — comfortable shipping daily, comfortable saying "stop, we need to rebuild this part" and similarly “stop, we should NOT reinvent the wheel and use battle-tested open-source/paid solutions” • You thrive in flat, direct, high-velocity teams where the architect sets the technical path and defends it with code and data, not slides • Bonus: construction, AEC, or other vertical-SaaS experience; or you've taken a company from Series A to C technically • Culturally, you embody working as “one team” and strive to “get things done”, instead of passing the buck around
Benefits
• At Boon, we want to attract and retain the best employees and compensate them in a way that appropriately and fairly values their individual contribution to the company. With that in mind, we carefully consider a number of factors to determine the appropriate starting pay for an employee, including their primary work location and an assessment of a candidate’s skills and experience, as well as market demands and internal parity. This estimate can vary based on the above mentioned factors, so the actual starting annual base salary may be above or below this range. A Boon employee may be eligible for additional forms of compensation, depending on their role, including sales incentives, discretionary bonuses, and/or equity in the company.
