Job summary

Northbeam, a data-first marketing intelligence platform, is hiring a data-tilted software engineer to build and maintain data pipelines, APIs, and real-time data integrations for a multi-tenant SaaS product. You’ll collaborate with PMs, product engineers, and business leaders to turn customer needs into reliable data products and pipelines.

You’ll join a team that values curiosity, shipping mindset, and ownership, with opportunities to grow into more responsibilities as the data systems scale.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in data engineering, software engineering, or integration engineering with ETL, APIs, or data pipeline work.
• Solid working proficiency in Python.
• Experience building against REST APIs; familiarity with GraphQL or webhooks is a plus.
• Comfort with SQL and exposure to a cloud data warehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, or similar).
• Exposure to orchestration frameworks such as Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect.
• Willingness to work in a containerized environment (Docker).
• A track record of shipping steadily and asking good questions when the path isn’t obvious.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain data pipelines that ingest and transform data from a variety of sources.
• Develop and support APIs that enable secure, tenant-aware data integrations with external systems.
• Work within event-driven and batch processing architectures to keep data fresh and consistent.
• Contribute to API design and integration patterns that support both real-time and batch ingestion across different authentication mechanisms (OAuth, API keys, etc.).
• Add monitoring and alerting that surfaces data freshness issues, failures, and performance problems before customers notice them.
• Improve existing data flows and transformations, weighing cost, efficiency, and speed of delivery in a cloud-native environment.
• Partner with data engineering, infrastructure, and product teams to make our integration platform easier to extend and onboard new sources into.
