Northbeam
About Northbeam
Northbeam is building the world’s most advanced marketing intelligence platform, providing top eCommerce brands a unified view of their business data through powerful attribution modeling and customizable dashboards. Our technology helps customers accurately track ad spend, understand the full customer journey, and drive profitable growth.
About The Role Northbeam is fundamentally a data product – the whole company. 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.
As an Infrastructure Engineer at Northbeam, you will work with a small engineering team to create a scalable, observable, reliable platform for data ingestion, processing, and serving. Responsibilities will evolve, but the Infrastructure team’s remit includes:
CI/CD and dev infrastructure
Security
DR policies
SSL cert management and DNS
Infrastructure as Code
Capacity planning and budgeting
Observability
Scaling plans and automation
Guidance for best use of cloud infrastructure
… and more
Success in this role will require significant existing experience, a passion for continuous learning, an automation‑first mindset, and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, auditors, product managers, and more.
Your Impact You will wear many hats, juggle diverse tasks, and learn new skills on the fly – while also teaching a few. If you thrive on variety and love diving in, here’s what a typical week might include:
Improve Observability:
work with engineering to iterate on alerts and dashboards, help standardize and automate monitoring practices.
Automate All the Things:
pre‑configured services, networking rules, access grants, the whole deal.
DevEx Par Excellence:
improve and iterate on "golden paths" to simplify the work for developers to create new services that have great CI/CD, deployment environments, secrets, routing, and beyond.
Tame Noisy Alerts:
hunt down the root causes of noisy alerts and tweak configurations so we only hear from the system when it matters. "Just see if it goes away" is not an acceptable reaction to an alert. Not on your watch.
Security Meets Sanity:
stay on top of patching, pen‑testing, training, work to ensure the system is secure and meets the requirements of customers and auditors.
Capacity Management:
regularly audit cloud spend to identify and act on savings opportunities or misallocated resources; manage long‑term compute reservations and monitor utilization; propose and implement improvements.
What You Bring
Cloud Expertise:
solid hands‑on experience with cloud computing and a knack for automating infrastructure.
Programming:
very comfortable developing (and debugging!) automation in Python, and bridging between software engineers’ service code and problems to how they manifest in the infrastructure and metrics.
Automation:
expert level at Terraform and Atlantis; you can discuss differences and nuances of TF, Puppet, Chef, CF, and others at length.
Observability Know‑How:
familiarity with monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog).
Problem Solving:
a track record of resolving on‑call issues and staying cool under pressure.
Collaborationb> comfortable working cross‑functionally with engineering, data, product, and management teams.
Documentation Skills:
you can write clear, concise technical documentation that other humans can actually follow.
Bonus Skills & Experience
Experience working in marketing, e‑commerce, or ad‑tech.
Basic familiarity with SQL and ETL processes.
Understanding of database admin process and automation (user provisioning, backups, cloning and replication, index management, etc).
GCP specific experience.
Kubernetes experience.
Base Salary Range $180,000—$210,000 USD
Actual compensation may vary based on experience, skills, and location.
Benefits In addition to your base salary, we offer an equity package, comprehensive healthcare benefits (medical, dental, and vision), and a 401(k) plan. Our team enjoys a flexible PTO policy, 12 company‑paid holidays, and 12 weeks of paid parental leave. We also provide a $500 work‑from‑home stipend to support your remote setup.
Interview Process The interview process varies by role but typically begins with a 30‑minute interview with a Northbeam recruiter, followed by a video interview with the hiring manager. Next, candidates complete a role‑specific video interview followed by video or onsite interviews with several team members. The final step is a video interview with our CEO/Co‑founder. The entire interview process is usually 5–7 interviews total and requires around 5–8 hours of your time.
We accept applications on an ongoing basis. #J-18808-Ljbffr
