Software Engineer, Python

Summary

Northbeam is building a marketing intelligence platform that helps eCommerce brands unify business data, measure marketing performance, and automate decisions. The Software Engineer will build backend services and frontend components across incrementality, near-real-time data infrastructure, AI-powered workflows, partner integrations, and other product areas.

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

Skills

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