Senior Software Engineer

Beam was founded in 2012 by three engineers who saw the opportunity to modernize the dental benefits industry using technology. The first product was the Beam Brush, which was one of the earliest examples of the Internet of Things in healthcare. Today, Beam Benefits is available in 40+ states and has expanded beyond dental. Beam is now simplifying and modernizing a robust suite of ancillary employee benefits through an intuitive digital platform, self-service tools, AI-powered pricing, and support from Beam’s helpful representatives. This winning combination allows us to deliver a simple, smart, and wellness-focused experience for brokers, employers, and members. The Role We are looking for Senior Software Engineers who are not just experts in their craft, but pioneers in the "AI-First" development era.

Architecting Thoughtful Integrations: Lead the development of reliable APIs and standardized integrations to ensure our platform connects seamlessly with partners. Advancing the AI Developer Stack: Proactively integrate tools like Claude Code into the daily workflow to automate repetitive tasks and focus the team on high-value engineering challenges. Creating Trustworthy Systems: Scale our logging, monitoring, and validation frameworks to ensure all workflows remain stable, predictable, and audit-ready. Who We’re Looking For Experience: 6+ years of professional software engineering experience. Technical Stack: Expert-level hands‑on coding ability in a modern web stack (primarily React and Ruby on Rails, though we value transferable seniority from other frameworks). AI Fluency: Experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) to improve development workflows, such as code generation, test creation, refactoring, or documentation. Integration Expertise: Proven ability to integrate third‑party APIs and AI-powered services into production systems. Foundational Skills: Mastery of testing, debugging, and operating within cloud-based environments. We value engineers who demonstrate GRIT - who pursue Growth in their craft, show Resilience under pressure, deliver measurable Impact , and strengthen the Team around them.
