Beacon acquires and grows essential businesses. With our centralized platform, we empower founders with the technology and expertise to better serve their customers. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
Members of Technical Staff (MTS) are the senior engineers who build the platform that everything else at Beacon runs on. You will own a piece of the core stack end-to-end: design, implementation, operations, and the long-term technical direction of that area. This is a Staff Engineer role in everything but name. We run flat.
More about this role
Beacon is acquiring and operating a portfolio of vertical SaaS companies. Most private equity firms scale by adding people. We are building Beacon to scale by adding software. The thesis is simple. Portfolio operations, value creation, and deal sourcing are bottlenecked by human attention, and the right software platform can lift that ceiling by an order of magnitude.
We are building that platform. A cross-portfolio datalake on open table formats, with a feature store on top that makes the data usable by both people and software. An action layer that runs workflows across three domains: how we run the portfolio, how we grow the portfolio, and how we acquire into it. A feedback loop underneath that captures every action and outcome with stable identifiers. By the next phase of buildout we will have 100+ portfolio companies running on this platform. That is a problem set with serious data scale, real multi-tenant isolation requirements, and very few precedents to copy from.
Beacon has raised $550M+ from investors including General Catalyst, Lightspeed, D1 Capital, CPMG, and the family offices of the founders of Stripe, DoorDash, and Ramp.
