Benjamin Hargett is a product-focused software engineer and co-founder of beehiiv, building infrastructure that makes newsletter creation, growth, and monetization accessible to independent creators. With eight years of experience spanning startups and media tech, he previously drove backend and frontend work as a Senior Software Engineer at Morning Brew and earlier built full-stack features using React, GraphQL, Node, Ruby on Rails, and PostgreSQL. He combines hands-on engineering with a founder’s eye for growth tooling, removing the need for creators to maintain bespoke integrations or growth hacks. Based in New York, he pairs a Clemson computer science background with practical experience shipping scalable web products under tight timelines. Less obvious: he’s equally comfortable iterating on user-facing UI patterns and the underlying data and integration layers that enable creator monetization.
