On AI use
A strong Highbeam engineer uses AI as a powerful tool — for exploration, design, and implementation — while maintaining full ownership of the outcome. AI can accelerate thinking and execution, but it does not replace judgment, taste, or accountability.
We expect engineers to use AI extensively and still care deeply about code quality. That means reviewing outputs carefully, refining them, understanding the trade-offs, and ensuring the final result meets a high bar for clarity, correctness, and maintainability.
Shipping working code is not enough. You should understand what you ship and be able to defend the decisions behind it.
This role will be a great fit for you if...
You are highly proficient with TypeScript and React
You have 4+ years of professional experience building React apps
You are comfortable with rewriting code to improve code quality
You question requirements before building and, once set, you implement designs perfectly
You'll thrive at Highbeam if...

You enjoy working in an idea-meritocratic, low-ego environment
You are proactive and self-directed, and you excel in ambiguous, fast moving environments
