About The Position

Join North’s Foundations team, which owns the cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, CI/CD and releases, observability and incident tooling, and internal tools used across the company. The role spans infrastructure as code and full-stack application development, with the goal of making North easy to operate and hard to get wrong. Internal tools are a significant part of the work, alongside the infrastructure and tooling relied on by engineering teams. The position has no fixed level; leveling is based on experience and how the candidate works, using North’s engineering ladder.

The role is hybrid in New York City, with an office in Dumbo, Brooklyn, where team members typically work in the office two to three days per week, or it can be remote within the US.
