Engineering

Backend Lead

Lead the servers behind the app, which supply the dining menus, shuttle arrival times and alerts.

You will build features yourself and take them all the way to the App Store, where students use them. That is product experience you can put on your résumé.

We are a Claude shop: the team builds with Claude and Claude Code every day. You do not need experience with Claude itself, but you do need experience working with AI tools.

What you will own

• The Cloudflare Workers behind the app, and their data
• Shuttle arrival estimates and the dining and alert feeds
• Uptime, monitoring and what happens when a source goes quiet
• The API the iPhone and Android apps read

What you need to know

• Hands-on experience using AI tools to write, debug or explain code
• JavaScript or TypeScript, including async code and promises
• Building HTTP APIs that return JSON, and how status codes and caching work
• SQL: designing tables, writing queries and adding indexes
• Serverless platforms such as Cloudflare Workers, or similar
• Scheduled jobs that pull in outside data feeds and handle them failing
• Git, including branches and pull requests

Nice to have

• Cloudflare D1, KV or R2
• Live location or transit data
• Monitoring and alerting

The terms

• Open to freshmen and sophomores at Boston College
• We are looking for people who want to stay on the team through graduation
• About 5 hours a week on average, scheduled around your classes. Team leads may need a little more.
• A 30 to 60 minute team stand-up each week, which counts toward those hours
• Open to the occasional team get-together
• Unpaid, with a share of Eagle One that vests over time
