Your job is to build software that makes hardware, and to make us faster at building it. You will not work from a software department across the building. Backed by Bessemer, Y Combinator and South Park Commons.
About the role
The ramp here is steep and the expectations are high from day one. Engineers who want a structured development program, a mentor rotation, and a clearly defined lane should look elsewhere. Engineers who want to spend their first year building software that makes hardware should apply. Internships require 100% onsite at Boom's headquarters located at 6803 S Tucson Way, Centennial, CO 80112.
What they're looking for
- You want to build software that makes hardware, and learning the hardware side excites you more than it scares you
- You've done something extraordinary early: shipped software with real users, built the systems your club or lab depends on, or done work that most engineers don't see for years
- You'd rather ship something imperfect this week than something polished next month
- You want ownership, not guidance, and harder problems make you more energized, not less
- You find out what to build by watching your users struggle, waiting for a spec to arrive sounds miserable
- The test stand and the factory floor sound more interesting to you than a sprint planning meeting

What you'll do
- Own a defined piece of your team's software, with real accountability for the outcome
- Sit with the engineers, technicians, and test crews who use your software, and build what they actually need
- Ship code your first week, and a tool in daily use by the end of your first month
- Work with AI as a first-class part of the job: agents as coding partners, and interfaces designed for agents as well as humans
- Iterate fast: figure out what's wrong, fix it, and...
