Staff Software Engineer, Data Systems (Python)

Northbeam is fundamentally a data product - the whole company. We don’t sell shoes, 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.

Our data systems team is foundational and load-bearing, and this role sets its technical direction. As a Staff engineer, you'll own the architecture of the integration and ingestion platform that the rest of the company builds on — deciding how we onboard new sources, where the abstractions live, and what "reliable" means in practice. You'll work across product, engineering, and with business leaders, and your judgment will shape what the team builds long after any individual project ships.

The work involves a labyrinth of integrations and transformations across a complex network of touchpoints, powered by data spanning numerous ad platforms, order management systems (Shopify, Amazon, and others), and our own real-time event collection.
