Company mission
The new standard for eCommerce intelligence.
Role
Who you are
- Strong fluency with no-code / low-code automation tools (n8n, Gumloop, Zapier, Make, Airtable, Notion, etc.)
- Comfort working with APIs, JSON, webhooks, and basic scripting in Python or JavaScript
- A product and business mindset. You optimize for outcomes, not novelty
- A true builder personality: scrappy, resourceful, curious, and persistent
- Ability to turn ambiguous problems into clear, automated workflows
- Excellent communication and documentation skills
Desirable
- Experience in marketing tech, SaaS, or growth-focused environments
- Exposure to AI agent frameworks or multi-step agent workflows
- A portfolio of automation or AI projects you can share (personal, freelance, or internal tools all count)
What the job involves
- You’ll act as the automation layer across the company, uncovering inefficiencies, building AI-powered workflows and agents, and turning scrappy experiments into scalable systems
- This role blends builder, hacker, and strategist: part internal consultant, part product-minded engineer, part creative problem solver. If you love turning messy, manual processes into elegant automations and care deeply about business impact, this role is for you
- Shadow teams across marketing, sales, product, finance, and ops to understand workflows end-to-end
- Run automation and AI audits to identify repetitive, high-friction processes
- Translate vague problems (“this takes too long”) into clear automation opportunities
- Design and build no-code / low-code workflows using tools like n8n, Gumloop, Zapier, Make, Airtable, Notion, Langflow, Relevance AI, and similar platforms
- Integrate internal and external systems via APIs, webhooks, JSON, and light scripting
- Leverage Northbeam data and APIs to power intelligent workflows and agents
- Move successful experiments into production-ready systems
- Monitor performance, reliability, and edge cases
- Document workflows clearly so others can understand, extend, and maintain them
- Build AI-driven workflows for:
- Lead generation and enrichment
- Campaign and creative research
- Competitive intelligence
- Sales and marketing enablement
- Partner with Growth, Marketing, and Sales to unlock new leverage with automation
- Push boundaries and explore new AI agent patterns
- Build scrappy internal tools that give Northbeam an unfair advantage
- Stay on top of emerging AI, automation, and agent frameworks and apply them pragmatically
Application 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
Our take
Traditionally in-person stores used a plethora of consultants, accountants and agencies to seek improvements that would boost their bottom line. Now, in the age of internet-enabled commerce, data richness and a totally new customer acquisition landscape has made those services irrelevant.
Instead, startups like Northbeam have emerged to fulfil those roles for the modern age. In particular, Northbeam provides services for eCommerce intelligence. That means applying machine learning and first-party data to drive more efficient and scalable marketing strategies.
Its recent integration with MNTN highlights how that role is evolving even further, bringing channels like connected TV into a single, trusted measurement framework. By replacing fragmented reporting and intuition with clear, data-backed insights, Northbeam is positioning itself as essential infrastructure for modern eCommerce decision-making.
