Employee at Northbridge
Working at Northbridge means being part of a team that values ownership, craftsmanship, and real impact. We work closely with our clients to solve meaningful problems, combining technical depth with a strong understanding of business context.
As an employee, you are trusted to take responsibility, challenge ideas, and contribute beyond your role. We believe in continuous learning, open collaboration, and building things the right way, from clean architecture to strong team dynamics.
It’s a place for people who care about what they build, how they work, and the value they create.
Why did we start Northbridge?
Northbridge was started from a simple belief: that there is a better way to build and scale technology. Too often, we saw organizations struggling with misalignment between business and tech, overcomplicated solutions, and a lack of ownership in delivery.
We founded Northbridge to bridge that gap, combining strong engineering with clear leadership and a deep understanding of business needs. The goal was not just to deliver projects, but to create lasting impact by building systems, teams, and ways of working that actually scale.
At the same time, we wanted to rethink what a career in tech consulting could be. Northbridge is built to offer a more scalable and flexible career path, where you can move between consulting, team-based project delivery, and tech equity engagements. This allows you to not only grow professionally, but also build long-term value through your work.
In many ways, we bring together the best parts of the freelance world, ownership, flexibility, and upside, with the stability, collaboration, and support of a strong organization.
“ We had seen too many models that were either unfair to the employee or simply didn’t work. So we set out to change that - bridging the gap between freelance and traditional employment, and creating a more scalable and sustainable career path. ”
What we are looking for
We’re looking for people who take ownership, think beyond their role, and care about delivering real value, not just completing tasks. At Northbridge, you’re expected to engage with both technology and business, challenge assumptions, and contribute to better outcomes for our clients.
You are someone who values clarity over speed, understands the importance of strong foundations, and takes pride in building things that last. You’re comfortable navigating complexity, asking the right questions, and making decisions even when things aren’t fully defined.
To thrive here, you need to be collaborative, straightforward, and pragmatic. You share knowledge, give and receive feedback openly, and focus on continuous improvement, both in how you work and what you build. You don’t chase trends for the sake of it, but you stay curious and adapt when it creates real value.
Most importantly, you take responsibility. You follow things through, make progress visible, and care about the outcome, not just your part in it.
Here is how our Salary Models work
We believe in Transparency and we are not afraid to show it. Here is how it works in our company.
Salary Model at Northbridge
At Northbridge, salary is based on a revenue-sharing model combined with a personal Fund. Each consultant operates on a split—typically 80/20, 75/25, or 70/30—where the larger portion goes to the consultant and the remainder to the company. Your share covers your total compensation, including salary, employer taxes, and pension.
From this, you choose how much to take out as monthly salary, while any remaining amount is allocated to your personal Fund. The Fund acts as a buffer, allowing you to smooth income over time, cover expenses (given a positive balance), or manage periods with lower utilization.
You are still fully employed under Swedish standards, with regular salary payments, pension contributions, and benefits. The model is designed to combine the flexibility and upside of freelancing with the security of traditional employment.
Northbridge Principles
How we think, work, and take responsibility
These principles guide how we make decisions, work with clients, and challenge each other. They shape how we lead, how we deliver, and how we build trust - internally and externally.
Ownership over Excuses
We take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks. If something matters, we make it happen — or make it visible.
Clarity before Speed
We seek understanding before action. Clear goals, roles, and decisions enable faster and more sustainable execution.
Humility and Craft
We value experience, learning, and collaboration over ego. Strong opinions are welcome — when paired with openness and respect.
Long-Term Value
We optimize for what lasts. Decisions should strengthen organizations, systems, and people beyond the immediate delivery.
Candor with Care
We communicate directly, honestly, and constructively. Trust is built through transparency, not comfort.
Close to Reality
We stay close to how things actually work — in systems, teams, and operations. Good decisions are grounded in reality, not theory.
