The opportunity at Beam

We’re looking for Senior (and above) software engineers with a product-mindset and autonomy to join our product teams to help build the future of Beam.

What you’ll be doing

• Help build our technology for the future - be it infrastructure, backend or front-end. We value generalists.

• Work with cross functionally with Product and GTM teams to figure out what new features to build within our product.

• Building internal tools - for our team to help as many people as efficiently as possible.

• Using the latest generative AI tooling to empower our users to focus on what matters, helping those in need.

• Get deep into the power of the LLMs that exist and figure out ideal optimisations across our systems with them.

Why is this exciting?

• You will join an elite engineering team, shipping your code to production multiple times a day.

• You will help shape the future of social care globally.

• You will push the boundaries of AI usage both in the product and in engineering workflows.

Who we’re looking for

• Breadth of experience across infrastructure, backend and frontend technology stacks:
  - We hire engineers of all backgrounds to use the latest Ruby on Rails, Typescript, and PostgreSQL running on GCP.
  - React + Typescript on the client backed by our shadcn design system.
  - Experience with OpenAI & Claude for LLM interfacing.

• Startup experience: you’ve worked in fast-growth, customer-focused startup companies delivering measurable results.

• You’re interested in AI products and how AI can improve your workflows.

• You have a product mindset: you care about customer outcomes and you want to make data-informed decisions.

• You care about the “right tool for the right job” and pick the pragmatic options when building software.

• Enjoys working in cross functional teams - PMs, UX, Designers and Data.

We're committed to advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion through our work as an organisation, and that starts with the team we build. 53% of the people we support are from ethnic minority backgrounds and 17% have disabilities.

To that end, we particularly welcome applications from ethnic minority candidates and/or those who’ve experienced social disadvantage.
