As a Backend Engineer you will:

  • Work together with the entire team, from ideation to implementation
  • Design architecture and maintain infrastructure to support billions of events per month.
  • Help develop a pragmatic technology roadmap to ensure our app can scale to billions of page views per month

  • Have experience developing distributed systems
  • Are familiar with serving high-access consumer web apps

What We Can Offer:

  • Competitive salary and equity grant. We have a standard four year vesting schedule with one year cliff
  • We give 4 weeks off total and we want you to use them! This is on top of federal holidays 🇺🇸🎉
  • Platinum level medical, vision, and dental insurance with 99% employer-paid premiums for employees and coverage for eligible dependents
  • 401(k) retirement savings and investing plan
  • $100 monthly gym stipend
  • $3,000 computer, monitor, and home office setup reimbursement. We will get you what you need to do your best work!

If you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying. No matter what you come in knowing, you'll be learning new things all the time and we'll be here to help! Our team still has a lot to learn and if you join us, we would love for you to learn and grow with us!

Why you should join Beacons

Beacons is creating new economic opportunities for creators.

We believe that the future of work is going to see more people constructing a career (and a life, since the two are more intertwined than ever) that they really enjoy around who they are — and creators are the first wave. If you’re excited for this future and want to help us get there sooner, please get in touch!

We're currently a small team that's based in San Francisco but working from home like everyone else. We're open to hiring remotely, but expect to find an office in San Francisco at some point TBD.
