Job summary

Beam AI Inc. is hiring a Principal Engineer to lead one of our squads while remaining hands-on in code. You’ll own a product area, turn unclear problems into deliverables, and guide it through release and beyond.

You’ll shape architecture, make tough trade-offs, and help engineers grow into greater ownership. You’ll build AI-agent capabilities that operate reliably in real customer workflows, while maintaining production quality, testing, and observability.

Qualifications

• 8+ years building software and leading engineers as a tech lead or manager.
• Strong hands-on engineering skills; you still write code.
• Experience building across backend services, APIs, databases and user-facing products.
• Experience shipping LLM or agent features to customers and improving them from production behavior.
• Sound judgment about architecture, reliability and when a simpler solution suffices.

• Design and build across the stack, tackling key technical problems.
• Collaborate with Product to shape solutions, trade-offs and shipping.
• Build and improve AI-agent capabilities in real customer workflows.
