Our attribution modeling technology and customizable dashboards provide our customers with a unified view of their e-commerce business data. The smartest brands in ecommerce trust Northbeam to accurately attribute their advertising spend, understand the entire customer journey, and make data-driven decisions to grow profitably.

Northbeam’s team and customer base are growing quickly, and it’s essential that we invest in the right people & systems to scale our business. Our business has found incredible product-market fit and continues to grow rapidly. This is a career-defining opportunity for an experienced engineer to accelerate their growth and contribute to a rapidly-scaling company.

The Northbeam team is composed of hard-working and talented individuals focused on collaboration, personal growth, and technical excellence. We would love for you to join us!

Job Description

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.

What this means for you is that high quality, robust data integration is at the core of what we do, and your work will have a direct connection to the company’s success.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with experience in data integration, API-based ETL pipelines, and cloud-native architecture. You will work with a small engineering team to create a platform that consolidates third-party data from a wide range of sources, including advertising platforms, e-commerce systems, customer data warehouses, ERP, POS, and CRM systems. You will need to think about concerns like scalability, multi-tenancy, batch vs streaming trade-offs, data validation, API design, and more. You will work with experienced engineers who are eager to share their knowledge and experience, and to learn alongside you.

Curiosity, willingness to do the hard thing, attention to developer ergonomics, and an enjoyment of a startup pace of development  will be the key to success in this role.

About the Role

This is a startup. The one thing that’s constant is change. To start with, you can expect to:

  • Design and implement scalable, high-performance data pipelines to ingest and transform data from a variety of sources, ensuring reliability, observability, and maintainability.
  • Build and maintain APIs that enable flexible, secure, and tenant-aware data integrations with external systems.
  • Work with event-driven and batch processing architectures, ensuring data freshness and consistency at scale.
  • Drive clean API design and integration patterns that support both real-time and batch ingestion while handling diverse authentication mechanisms (OAuth, API keys, etc.).
  • Implement observability, monitoring, and alerting to track data freshness, failures, and performance issues, ensuring transparency and reliability.
  • Optimize data flows and transformations, balancing cost, efficiency, and rapid development cycles in a cloud-native environment.
  • Collaborate with data engineering, infrastructure, and product teams to create an integration platform that is flexible, extensible, and easy to onboard new sources.

You will work with great people who have done this many times before. You will teach them some new tricks, and maybe learn some old ones.

If this sounds like your kind of chaos, we’d love to hear from you.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
