Job Description -------------------
Northbeam is fundamentally a data product - the whole company. We don’t sell shoes, or ads, or games, or database technologies. We sell data: quality integrations with a variety of platforms, fresh and reliable data pulls, correct aggregations and algorithmic insights on top of that data, all packaged up in a user-facing application.
What this means is that the data eng team is foundational and load-bearing.
As a Data Engineer working at Northbeam, you will work with a cross functional team of product managers, product engineers and business leaders to translate our customer’s feedback into scalable data pipelines and products.
The work involves creating, maintaining and improving a labyrinth of integrations and transformations in a complex network of touchpoints to keep everything running smoothly. 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.
About the Role ------------------
You can expect to:
- Work with our customers, product managers, product engineers, and customer support, to scope, build, and iterate high value solutions.
- Design, build and optimize data ingestion and transformation pathways spanning APIs, file processing, and configurable inputs.
- Maintain and enhance the data/infrastructure engineering aspects end-to-end ensuring high performance, scalability and reliability
- Work on the data pipeline architecture and optimize it for readability, maintainability, as well as cost.
- Integrate with our machine learning and data science systems to deliver insights to our customers.
- Maintain and enhance the necessary infrastructure to scale our platform.
- Participate in engineering on-call rotations, addressing production issues and diving into both code and data to analyze and solve problems reported through customer-facing channels.
- Write technical documentation for internal and external stakeholders.
