About the Role

Northbeam is fundamentally a data product - the whole company. We don’t sell shoes, or ads, or games. We sell data: quality integrations with a variety of platforms, fresh and reliable data pulls, robust data ingest APIs, correct aggregations and algorithmic insights on top of that data, all packaged up in a user-facing application.

The work involves creating, maintaining, and improving a labyrinth of integrations and transformations in a complex network of touchpoints to keep everything running smoothly. The system is powered by data that spans numerous ad platforms, a variety of order management systems (such as Shopify and Amazon), as well as our own real-time events that we collect as our customers navigate their online stores.

Curiosity, experience, and a desire to build data pipelines and applications at scale will be the key to success in this role.

  • Work with our customers, product managers, product engineers, and customer support, to scope, build, and iterate high value solutions.
  • Provide technical leadership to various software engineers and drive the long term technical strategy with scalable architecture and best practices.

  • Integrate with our machine learning and data science systems to deliver insights to our customers.
  • Maintain and augment the necessary infrastructure to scale our platform.
  • Write technical documentation for internal and external stakeholders.

  • Solid understanding of data processing needs of real-time and batch systems for transactional and analytical processing
  • Experience with SQL / Java / Scala / Spark / Python
  • Experience designing and deploying high performance systems with reliable monitoring and logging practices
  • Experience with data pipeline orchestration tools and practices
  • 8+ plus years of experience
Bonus Skills & Experience 
  • Experience in data engineering solutions such as Bigquery, Airflow, dbt, Kafka, Pinot
  • Prior experience working in marketing, e-commerce, or ad-tech
  • Experience working with cloud infrastructure such as Google Cloud Platform, Azure, or AWS
  • Experience or a desire to leverage infrastructure-as-code

$190,000$220,000 USD

Actual compensation may vary based on experience, skills, and location.

In addition to your base salary, we offer an equity package, comprehensive healthcare benefits (medical, dental, and vision), and a 401(k) plan. Our team enjoys a flexible PTO policy, 12 company-paid holidays, and 12 weeks of paid parental leave. We also provide a $500 work-from-home stipend to support your remote setup.
