Beacon Software - Software Engineering Intern
Requirements
• Currently enrolled in a Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related undergrad or graduate program. • Comfortable writing production-quality code in at least one of TypeScript, Python, or Go. You do not need to know all three, but you should be able to pick up a new language quickly. • Comfortable working in someone else's codebase. You can read code as well as you write it. • Curious about data systems, APIs, and the practical mechanics of LLM-driven applications. Prior exposure is a plus but not required. • Strong written communicator. Beacon runs on writing, and interns are expected to write design docs, PR descriptions, and updates that hold up to senior review. • Operator instincts. You take the time to understand the problem before reaching for a solution. • Prior co-op or internship experience shipping production software. • Exposure to modern data tooling (dbt, Snowflake, Databricks, Postgres at scale). • Experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic) or agentic workflow frameworks. • Side projects or open-source contributions that demonstrate independent technical curiosity.
Responsibilities
• Ship production code into Beacon's internal platform. You will own a meaningful piece of work end-to-end, from design through deployment. • Build integrations between portco source systems (QuickBooks, HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, Postgres, and similar) and our central data platform. • Prototype and ship LLM-powered internal tools that our operating team uses to manage the portfolio. • Work directly with senior engineers, including our CTO and Staff Engineers, on code review, system design, and technical decision-making. • Pair with the operations team to understand the problem before writing the code. Engineering at Beacon is operator-facing, and you will learn how to ship software that someone actually uses.
Benefits
• Direct mentorship from senior engineers and the Beacon CTO. • Real ownership. You will ship code that the operating team depends on, not throwaway prototypes. • Exposure to a unique operational problem: building software that scales across a portfolio of very different businesses. • Remote-friendly, with travel to Beacon HQ in Toronto for onboarding and key in-person sessions. • Our Values at Beacon Software • Humility: We acknowledge that the path to getting to the right answer involves being wrong along the way. We have strong beliefs which are weakly held. We actively seek new ideas and believe we can learn from anyone at any time. • Honesty: We are truth seeking in our approach to business problems. Business is a repeat game and we believe that human relationships generate alpha. We understand that trust is earned over a lifetime and can be lost in an instant. • Hunger: We play to win. We hold ourselves to high standards and will not be outworked. We take pride in having a deep sense of responsibility to ourselves, each other, our partners, and our customers. We believe to whom much is given much is expected. • Horizon: We seek to build a generational software company. This will take decades. We manage our expectations and those of our partners to take advantage of the 8th wonder of the world - compounding growth. • How We Use AI in Our Hiring Process: To ensure transparency, we want candidates to know that Beacon Software uses Artificial Intelligence and AI-enabled tools to assist with screening, reviewing, organizing and highlighting profiles and applications that match the key requirements for each role. • How We Use AI in Our Hiring Process: • AI does not make hiring decisions: Every application is reviewed by a member of our team, and all decisions throughout the process are made by humans. We use AI to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human judgment. We are committed to a fair, thoughtful, and equitable experience for every candidate. • AI does not make hiring decisions:
