About this role


We're looking for a frontend engineer to help us ship features that users find both useful and delightful to use.

Our stack: Kotlin, TypeScript / React, Python, PostgreSQL, Terraform, Google Cloud.

This role will be in-person in New York or Toronto.

What you’ll do

  • Refine our existing React app and build new features

  • Be the frontend expert other engineers can rely on to help debug frontend issues

  • Work with a modern frontend stack including react, typescript, vite, storybook, react-router-dom, and radix-ui

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 love working in-person with a high-performing team

  • You enjoy working in an idea-meritocratic, low-ego environment

  • You are proactive and self-directed, and you excel in ambiguous, fast moving environments

  • You care about delivering a polished customer experience

  • Bonus: You have experience working in fintech, AI or early-stage startups

What we offer

  • Chance to join the founding team of a well-funded startup chasing a huge opportunity

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity

  • Great location: Our NYC office is in NoHo, a short walk from the A,C,E · B,D,F,M · N,Q,R,W · 1 · 6 trains. Our Toronto office is downtown near St. Andrew Station.

  • Generous PTO

  • Comprehensive health & benefits package

  • Stipends for lunch, commute, wellness, and purchasing customer products

  • Yearly offsite—last year we went to Mexico City!
