I work at Beacon.io and it's an awesome place to be. Kirat is indeed a rockstar and it's awesome to work with an CEO that knows great code. We also landed a Series C last month and we're growing :)

We've also got a bunch of positions open too for those that are interested in joining!
As a full stack quant dev who is struggling to go all-in on Beacon: Do people generally like to use Glint for complex applications? Are benefits of Beacon lost when interfacing from e.g. Angular? I'm afraid that professional frontend devs might be unwilling to work with a proprietary framework, but that's speculation from my side.
Glint is an integrated framework with the platform but it does not limit you to just using the framework. The platform is designed to be as extensible as possible, worry not about being locked in :)
I took a quick look, it seems like all the postings are London or New York. What's the feeling internally about remote hires? I'm assuming that's still out of fashion in finance and Beacon feels the same?
Because of Covid I've been remote since last year. It's still an evolving situation. But things have worked out pretty well.
Our CEO was also remote during that time too and here's him giving a webinar from a cabin :)

Build complex system, when things starts to get messy move somewhere else. Rinse, repeat.
