The job seeker is not a hiring manager
Everything we ship is judged by whether a person in the middle of a stressful job search can act on it in four seconds. That constraint kills more ideas here than anything else, and it is the right one.
Careers
Build the tool that makes job searching less demoralizing
9 people in San Francisco and around the US, working on one thing. Four roles open.
Open roles
Four, and every one of them matters
Founding Engineer, Tailoring Pipeline
Own the path a resume and job post take through Beacon: parsing, matching, tailoring and the honesty checks that keep every output grounded in what the candidate actually did.
Engineering · San Francisco, CA or remote in the US · Full time
Senior Career Content Lead
Own what good looks like. Define what a well-tailored resume bullet sounds like, what interview prep actually prepares someone for, and where an AI-generated output crosses from helpful into invented.

Product Designer
Design the match-and-tailor screen. It is one screen, a job post and a resume on one side and the fit score and tailored output on the other, and it is the whole company.
Design · Remote in the US · Full time
Growth Lead
Find the job seekers who would benefit most from Beacon, build the motion to reach them, and define what growth looks like before we have a playbook for it.

How we work
Four things we mean
Honest by design, not by policy
Beacon tailors using only the experience in your resume. We do not invent qualifications, and we tell you where you fall short rather than papering over it. That is not a feature, it is the product.
Measure the model, do not trust it
Every prompt change is run against job posts and resumes with known good outputs before it ships. A tailored line that cannot be traced back to the original resume never reaches the screen. Confidence without verification is the failure mode of this whole category.
Small team, real ownership
9 people. You own an area, not a ticket queue, and you will talk to people using the product in your first week. Equity is real and we explain the numbers rather than waving at them.
