On AI use
A strong Highbeam engineer uses AI as a powerful tool — for exploration, design, and implementation — while maintaining full ownership of the outcome. AI can accelerate thinking and execution, but it does not replace judgment, taste, or accountability.
We expect engineers to use AI extensively and still care deeply about code quality. That means reviewing outputs carefully, refining them, understanding the trade-offs, and ensuring the final result meets a high bar for clarity, correctness, and maintainability.
Shipping working code is not enough. You should understand what you ship and be able to defend the decisions behind it.

You are highly proficient with TypeScript and React
You have 4+ years of professional experience building React apps
