We are re-imagining sharing on the internet — starting right at the source of your lived experience: your camera roll. The iPhone put the most advanced cameras we’ve ever had access to in all of our pockets. That didn’t turn us all into photographers but self-documenters. Today, the spaces in which those photos can be shared with others are continuing to shrink, while the number of photos we take has never been higher.

We are building Beam to unlock those untold stories in your camera roll; and to create a space for self-expression that celebrates your taste, POV, and your lived experience.

Our product is currently in Beta with a target launch later this summer.

Give it a try here: Beam - Unlock your camera roll App - App Store

Who we are

We are a lean team working out of NYC. We are looking for folks that are either based in NYC or open to relocating. We value an in-person environment that helps us collaborate effectively and build culture and we aim to work out of our office in Chelsea 4-6 days a week.

We have raised $5.2m to date and are backed by world class investors like Neo and are advised by some of the best social consumer founders in the game including Dave Schatz (Co-founder of Gas app).

We are looking for someone who

• Is excited about the opportunity to reimagine social interaction and self-expression on the internet
• Wants to work on a product at the earliest stages and shape core product direction (not just ship tickets)
• Has several years of experience shipping production-grade consumer software (tar pit social idea in college = canon event)
• Is comfortable moving across the stack when needed (mobile + backend + web)
• Loves the internet and considers themselves terminally online

The role

The reality of working at a company this early is that “role” is a loosely defined term that might just identify what you specialize in.

Every member of the team is granted a seat at the table — with enormous agency over how we build our product, go to market, and build our company culture. As such we value highly opinionated individuals with deep conviction in their product taste and their vision for how people should interact on the internet.

We are looking to bring on high-agency, product-minded engineers who want to jump into everything from implementing 0→1 core features, to enabling growth loops, to optimizing infrastructure and reliability.

Very little of the work to be done is assigned top-down through tickets. Much of the work to be done is tackling vague but ambitious problems end to end.

Our stack today (not a prerequisite to know all of it): NextJS, React Native, GraphQL, Node.js.
