We consider branching Brownian motion on the real line with the following selection mechanism: Every time the number of particles exceeds a (large) given number $N$, only the $N$ right-most particles are kept and the others killed. After rescaling time by $\log^3N$, we show that the properly recentred position of the $\lceil \alpha N\rceil$-th particle from the right, $\alpha\in(0,1)$, converges in law to an explicitly given spectrally positive L\'evy process. This behaviour has been predicted to hold for a large class of models falling into the universality class of the FKPP equation with weak multiplicative noise [Brunet et al., Phys. Rev. E \textbf{73}(5), 056126 (2006)] and is proven here for the first time for such a model.
