Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Northbeam as an employer.

What you need

  • 8+ years designing and building distributed backend systems, microservices, APIs, and/or data processing systems in Python
  • Deep experience owning system architecture
  • A track record of partnering with product managers, designers, and data scientists
  • Startup experience or experience in an environment demanding breadth and strong problem-solving under ambiguity
  • Demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous product needs into sound technical architecture
  • Fluency navigating complex datasets and interconnected tables

Nice to have

  • Most of your experience is in data-intensive backend engineering, but you've also shipped frontend work
  • You've been the person a team turns to when the architecture question doesn't have an obvious answer

What you get

  • Base salary range of $190,000 — $220,000 USD
  • Equity package
  • Comprehensive healthcare benefits (medical, dental, and vision)
  • 401(k) plan
  • Flexible PTO policy
  • 12 company-paid holidays

Worth weighing

  • Remote position with physical offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles
  • Role involves a significant amount of backend work (70%) compared to frontend (20-30%)
  • Interview process requires 5-8 hours of your time across multiple interviews
