About the Role
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.

The system is powered by data that spans numerous ad platforms, a variety of order management systems (such as Shopify and Amazon), as well as our own real-time events that we collect as our customers navigate their online stores.
Curiosity, experience, and a desire to build data pipelines and applications at scale will be the key to success in this role.
