About The Position

Northbeam is seeking a mid-level software engineer with a backend focus to build features end-to-end. This role involves approximately 70% backend work and 20-30% frontend work, allowing engineers to own features across the entire stack. The engineer will contribute to new products and capabilities, including an incrementality offering, near real-time data infrastructure, and AI-powered workflows. Collaboration with a cross-functional team of data scientists, product managers, and designers is expected, with mentorship from senior engineers on architectural decisions.

Requirements

3+ years of experience building backend services, APIs, and/or data processing systems in Python.
Exposure to distributed systems or microservices, and curiosity about how larger architectures fit together.
Experience working alongside product managers, designers, and data scientists, and owning your implementation through to production.
Comfort in a fast-moving or early-stage environment where priorities shift and engineers pick up whatever the product needs.
Experience taking defined product requirements and turning them into working, production-ready code.
The ability to work through unfamiliar datasets and interconnected tables to investigate issues and trace dependencies, with support when the path isn't obvious.
Working frontend experience with technologies such as React and TypeScript; deep frontend specialization is not required.
Strong coding fundamentals and real problem-solving instincts, with AI used as an accelerator rather than a substitute for core capabilities.
A generalist mindset and willingness to work across backend, frontend, pipelines, and infrastructure when the product requires it.

Nice To Haves

Most of your experience is in data-intensive backend engineering, but you have also shipped frontend work.

Responsibilities

Contribute to our new incrementality product as it grows into a reliable, repeatable experimentation platform.
Help build near-real-time ingestion and processing capabilities as we move beyond batch workflows.
Build AI-powered workflows that help marketers evaluate performance and act on insights.
Improve connection-state systems and help extend the partner ecosystem across data ingestion and exports.
Work on other product areas such as role-based access control (RBAC).
Contribute to frontend work when needed to deliver complete experiences.
