Full Stack Software Engineer

⛰️ About Northslope

The generational companies of the next century will run on mission-specific AI software that compounds their competitive advantage, not commoditized SaaS. We purpose-build production AI applications that enable our customers to operate at the speed, scale, and margins of an enterprise software company, in any industry.

We're building something fundamentally different: software that's as adaptable as the businesses it serves, created by engineers who understand both code and customer.

🛠️ The Role

As a Full-Stack Software Engineer at Northslope, you’ll be responsible for architecting, building, and scaling high-impact applications across the entire stack—front-end, back-end, and everything in between. Working closely with internal teams and stakeholders, you’ll deliver products that turn complex datasets into mission-critical workflows, tools, and insights.

You’ll spend your time designing user-centric UIs, building robust APIs, and operationalizing data pipelines. You’ll own projects end-to-end, ship fast, and play a pivotal role in transforming the operations of high-impact teams tackling complex real-world problems.

At Northslope, we believe great software engineers are also great product thinkers. You won’t just write clean code—you’ll help design the right solutions and see them through to production, adoption, and impact.

🎯 What We're Looking For

• User Obsession – You’re laser-focused on making your users successful, even when it means flexing outside your lane. You take pride in building solutions that truly drive business value.
• Full-stack engineering mindset – You’re comfortable jumping between the front-end and back-end as needed. You have experience building modern software / AI applications and RESTful APIs, and can stitch it all together to deliver seamless end-user experiences.
• Frontend Development Skills – You're proficient in TypeScript and React, with a track record of building modern, responsive web applications. You understand component architecture, hooks, state management, and performance optimization. You care about creating intuitive, accessible user interfaces that delight users and work seamlessly across devices.
• Ownership Mentality – You thrive when given autonomy and responsibility. You’re eager to take the lead on problems, with support from the team when needed.
• Track Record of Building in Production – You’ve built and maintained software systems that operate in the real world, ideally with complex or large-scale data. You care deeply about performance, reliability, and user feedback.
• Data Fluency – You're experienced working with structured and unstructured datasets, and know how to translate data into action via your code.
• Collaboration Skills – You can communicate and partner with teammates across disciplines and customers with varying technical backgrounds.

🔍 Preferred but not required to be successful

• A bachelor's or master’s degree in Computer Science
• Experience delivering production-grade applications
• Experience with backend frameworks (FastAPI, Node.js http://node.js)
• Experience with modern CSS frameworks like Tailwind CSS
• Familiarity with frontend build tools and bundlers (Vite, Webpack)
• Knowledge of frontend testing frameworks and best practices
• Familiarity with distributed compute systems like Spark
• Experience with Palantir Foundry and/or AIP
• Exposure to ML or LLM solutions in production environments

💛 What We Offer

• Competitive base salary + equity in the form of stock options
• Comprehensive benefits package including health insurance (inclusive of dental and vision) and 401k matching
• Flexible hybrid work environment
• The opportunity to build solutions, systems, and software from the ground up as we scale
• A small, tight-knit team where your contributions directly impacts our ability to execute on our mission
• Occasional travel (less than 10% of your time) for company offsites where you'll connect with teams across our New York and London hubs

🛸 Our Principles

• Only Valuable Problems: Not every problem is worth solving. We work on the projects that will significantly improve our customers' bottom lines.
• Outcomes, Not Activity: We create value, not extract it. We focus on our business impact, not racking up billable hours.
• Forward Deployed Engineering: We never build in a vacuum. We go to the heart of the problem and build alongside our users.
• One size fits none. Generic software fails the most important customers. We build for the specific — the exact industry, workflow, data, and competitive context of the company we're serving.
