Northpoint Labs
Team

Meet the team.

The senior, cross-functional group behind every pod. Product, engineering, security, design — one team, one standard.

The founder
Jack Kiley, founder of Northpoint Labs

Advisory rigor. Startup pace. One bridge.

Former Senior Manager in AI and Director of Data Science at a global advisory firm. The person who built consulting teams — and then left to build the version he wanted to hire.

At Bash Ventures, Jack has led 10+ companies from zero to shipped product. NPL is the operating system behind that practice: the pod model, the stack, the compliance posture, the people.

“Most companies shouldn’t have to pick between rigor and speed. We run both at once.”

Leadership

The people who own the work.

One delivery lead per pod, but the leadership depth behind them is the whole point. These are the people shaping what ships.

  • Alex Shkolnik, CISO at Northpoint Labs
    CISO
    Alex Shkolnik

    Experienced CISO who treats security as something you do, not something you certify. Action-oriented and responsive, Alex builds programs that actually reduce risk in regulated environments — not paper trails that satisfy auditors and little else.

  • Kent McLaughlin, Head of Product at Northpoint Labs
    Head of Product
    Kent McLaughlin

    The mastermind behind our core products. Kent works backward from the business, mapping how the product earns its keep — what it solves, who it serves, and what gets cut so the important things ship.

  • Nick Roney, Engineering Lead at Northpoint Labs

    Nick brings our engineers together, sets the pace, and sets the tone. He makes delivery a reality — translating ambiguous goals into shipped software and holding the team to a standard that compounds over time.

Reach

Global hubs. US business hours.

50+ engineers across 6+ hubs — aligned to US business hours so your PMs aren’t coordinating around a 12-hour gap. One delivery lead per pod, a shared set of standards across every engagement.

Join us

Always talking to talented people.

If you’re senior — engineering, design, product, security — and you want to build software that actually ships, drop us a note. Remote-first, US business hours, no formal opening required.
