Job description

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.

Before launching in 2016, our founders spent months interviewing salon managers and working behind front desks to understand their pain points so we could design a modern, user-friendly platform that meets the unique needs of their business. Our roots may be in hair salons, but we are built for the broader self-care industry, including many types of salons, spas, medspa, barbershops, and more. Our technology not only helps our customers survive but thrive.

We have an insatiable curiosity and embrace experimentation. We believe that simple solutions require the most sophistication, and we design each and every detail to maximize potential, power, and impact. Our team values and celebrates our diverse backgrounds. Being open about who we are and what we do allows us to do the best work of our lives. We believe in equal opportunity for all, and you should too.

Come do the best work of your life at Boulevard.

Boulevard’s engineering teams have an exciting imperative to build world-class customer experiences that power the next generation of salons and spas to enable everyone to look and feel their best.

As a Staff Software Engineer, Lead at Boulevard, you will be responsible for leading initiatives and architecture across your domain in partnership with Product and Design. The ideal candidate has a commitment to building great customer experiences. Working closely with the Product Manager, Designer, and Product Marketing Manager, you will play a crucial role in building exceptional payment products to power world-class and seamless booking experiences that empower our customers to build a modern commerce experience that enhances their brand, maximizes conversion, and leverages cutting-edge technology.

What you’ll do here:

• Lead and manage the 3-5 person squad (~40%) while contributing hands-on as a Staff SWE (~60%).
• Strategic planning and execution, ensuring alignment with the company’s vision and objectives.
• Own and lead the technical architecture and implementation of Boulevard’s payment products.
• Establish and monitor system health metrics, implementing strategies to exceed targets.
• Champion the maintenance of an observable, secure, and efficient codebase, addressing technical debt proactively to ensure the platform’s reliability and performance.
• Participate in Incident Commander on-call rotation, where you will lead incident response by guiding the response towards resolution, communicating to stakeholders, and identifying post-incident improvements.

What you’ll need to thrive:

• Experience
  • 8+ years of fullstack experience building well-architected, large-scale, and mission-critical systems.
  • Experience with payment systems, and PCI compliance.
  • Strong proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Java, Go). Experience in Elixir is a plus.
• CS Foundations: Ability to make sound decisions and tradeoffs in design and implementation, appropriately anticipating scale, maintenance, and overall operational feasibility of solutions.
• Strong Communicator: Strong verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills. You know your audience and can communicate effectively with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Collaborative: Deep partnership with your product, design, and marketing counterparts, constantly collaborating to ensure we progress towards the desired outcomes, maintaining healthy engagement with peers and stakeholders across R&D for cross-functional initiatives.
• Ownership: Able to lead large initiatives and roadmaps by partnering with Product, Design, and other stakeholders to define and scope smaller deliverables that yield incremental value to the business and customers.
• Autonomy: Ability to move things forward in the face of ambiguity, operating effectively in decision-making while clearly articulating risks, trade-offs, and ensuring proper visibility to key stakeholders and the squad.
• Technical & Leadership Skills: You have a balance of both technical and leadership strengths. You guide sound technical decisions within the squad, as well as empower your team to autonomously create significant impact.
• Forward Thinker: Demonstrated ability to set strategy for evolving systems to best support long-term objectives while still delivering incremental value in the now.

How we’ll take care of you:

Your total budgeted cash compensation for this role is between $190,000 and $220,000 USD, depending on your current skills, experience, training, and overall market demands. This range is subject to change, and there is always room for growth and advancement.

In addition to the wonderful people you’ll get to work with and challenging projects that’ll push you - Boulevard is here to make sure you’re always at the top of your game emotionally, mentally, and physically.

We’ve got you covered with a 401(k) match plus dental, medical, vision, and life insurance.

Take a break whenever you need with our flexible vacation day policy.

Fully remote so you can choose where you want to work. You’ll receive a work from home stipend every month.

Family planning resources and specialized support programs.
