Build and maintain complex, high-performance, and responsive web applications used by global teams and clients.
Partner with backend and ML engineers to ensure frontend systems integrate cleanly with dynamic, AI-driven workflows.
Drive engineering best practices across the frontend stack, testing, documentation, performance optimization, and accessibility.
Contribute to design reviews, system-level decisions, and technical planning alongside engineering leadership.
Mentor frontend engineers, lead code reviews, and help shape a strong engineering culture.

Benefits | Why Beam?
At Beam, we’re building an environment where ambitious people can do their best work, with clarity, purpose, and room to grow. We’re thoughtful about what we build, how we work, and who we hire. The problems we’re solving are real. The systems we’re building are complex. And the people here care deeply, about craft, about speed, and about doing work that actually matters. You won’t find rigid hierarchies or endless process here. You’ll find high trust, high standards, and a team driven by curiosity, ownership, and long-term thinking.
What you’ll find here
Ownership with clarity: You’ll drive work from idea to execution in a high-context, high-autonomy environment. We trust people to lead and follow through.
Growth that compounds: Whether you're deepening your technical expertise, exploring leadership, or learning across disciplines, we support growth paths that aren’t one-size-fits-all.
Work that matters: You’ll contribute to AI-native systems already powering real-world operations, not just prototypes or experiments.
Aligned incentives: We offer competitive compensation and meaningful equity, designed for long-term value creation, not just short-term rewards. When Beam wins, you do too.
A culture that raises the bar: You’ll work with sharp, kind teammates who value directness, curiosity, and momentum. We challenge each other to do better and support each other every step of the way.
If this sounds like the kind of work you want to do and the kind of team you want to grow with, we’d love to hear from you!
