About Beam

Cloud computing is broken.

AI has introduced a new generation of workloads, like GPU inference, sandboxes, and agents. These aren't ordinary applications that can be run as Lambdas, or Dockerized apps on VMs: they're massive, stateless containers that need to spin up in <1s, often across multiple clouds and regions.

Today, engineers are hacking together infra that breaks under real-world loads. That's where we come in.

Our mission is to build the world's best compute platform for AI. Our first product is a serverless inference platform, used by companies like Coca Cola, Geospy and hundreds more. We've built our own container runtime, called beta9, which is designed for launching GPU-backed containers in under 1s.

We're a small, highly-technical team, with backgrounds in distributed systems and robotics. We've raised $7M from YC, Tiger, Guy Podjarny (Founder of Snyk), and Jason Warner (former CTO of Github).

We're searching for intensely curious, passionate, and hard-working engineers to join our mission in rebuilding the cloud for the age of AI.

About the role
Skills: Python

Beam helps developers build and run AI and LLM applications on serverless GPUs, without managing infrastructure. Hundreds of teams are using Beam to power their applications in production. And we have a thriving community of developers using our platform to build state-of-the-art apps with AI.

We’re looking to hire a Growth Engineer to join our small team. This role sits at the intersection of AI engineering, content marketing, and memes. You will find trends, build cool things, and ship fast. Here’s what you’ll work on:

  • Build demo apps. Build and launch mini apps and demos that show what our product can be used for
  • Create Technical Assets. Craft sharable assets, like product videos, screenshots, and mini case studies
  • Ship Across Channels. Launch your work across channels like Twitter, Reddit, and Hacker News

Your experience

  • Full-stack software engineering experience
  • Previous experience shipping a product from 0 → 1, as a founder or an indie hacker
  • Tuned into internet culture: you know what’s working on Twitter, and you know what’s played out
  • Able to work independently and make fast decisions under ambiguity
  • Excited to collaborate with customers
  • Enthusiasm for developer tools, cloud native technologies, and open source software

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with meaningful equity
  • Health, dental, vision, 401(k)
  • Join a fast-growing pre-series A company at the ground floor
  • Fitness stipend, learning budget, and much more
Technology

Our infra code is mostly Go, our backend APIs are Python, and our dashboard is React/Typescript. We work very closely with customers – they’re all in a communal Slack channel with us, so it’s important that you’re interested in interacting with them (luckily, our customers are all developers).
