 What We Look For

  • 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams
  • 5+ years of experience building and deploying scalable applications in the cloud using an open source language such as JavaScript, Python, or Ruby (JavaScript would be preferred!)
  • Expertise in scoping large projects and initiatives into small iterations for release
  • Clear and efficient communication skills
  • Mentorship skills and the ability to give well-crafted constructive feedback
  • Experience in a startup environment is not required but would be a plus

  • Considerable employer contributions for health, dental and vision programs
  • 401(K) match

An Insider's view of Beyond Finance

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Everyone at Beyond is hard-working, smart, and gets the job done. Because of that, there's a lot of trust when it comes to taking the time off we need. Leadership offers a generous PTO plan to support wellness and growth outside of work, and everyone encourages each other's non-work hobbies and interests through Slack channels and coffee chats!

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

Everyone has total ownership over their work and ultimately has to decide the best way to accomplish their objectives. I encourage my team to use all the resources they have available to them - internally and externally - to reach the best end state.

How does your team reward individual success?

One of the things that I really appreciate about Beyond is that as I've had the chance to succeed in different roles, the team continues to challenge me in different ways. I think that as a result, I've been rewarded with the opportunity to work on increasingly harder problems, while also being given more ownership over the direction of my work.
