Engineering at Board Intelligence

Everyone says it, but in our case it’s true: Each member of our engineering team is amazing in their own right, but together they are what brings our product to life.

We’re very proud of the team we’ve built – there’s over 50 of us in Engineering now after growing quickly in 2024. We have ambitious plans to further improve our ways of engineering and to continue to enable boards to ‘see what matters’. You’ll play a big role in helping us achieve this in 2025/2026 and beyond.

• A desire to contribute to good user experiences and the ability to work both independently on tasks and collaboratively within a team to solve problems
• A willingness to learn from and be supported by more senior developers and share knowledge as you grow
• An interest in maintaining good code quality and performance, and an openness to learning about tools like testing and code reviews

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Some basic familiarity with other programming languages like Ruby, Python, or Java could be useful
• Any initial exposure to reactive programming concepts would be a plus
• Any experience working remotely or as part of a distributed team would be advantageous
