Backend Data Engineer

Description:

Here at Lusha, we power sales with data. Over 1.5M users and teams at Google, Zendesk, and Yotpo use our platform to find verified contacts, spot real-time buying signals, and automate workflows with 200M+ records.

As a Backend Data Engineer in our Data Group, you'll design and build data-powered backend services that drive compliance, scale, and impact—working across event-driven systems, privacy workflows, and high-volume data pipelines to power core business capabilities.

What You'll Actually Do:

• Build scalable backend services in Node.js using Kafka, queues, and microservice architecture
• Work with Python in data-intensive flows across Databricks
• Power core compliance systems: Contacts notice delivery, opt-out handling, data subject requests
• Collaborate with legal, product, and data teams to translate regulation into code
• Own integrations with providers like OneTrust, and ensure end-to-end data flow
• Use AI-enhanced tooling where it improves speed, quality, or insight
• Work closely with engineers across Israel and Ukraine—daily syncs, shared ownership

• 3+ years of backend development experience, with strong Node.js skills
• Solid understanding (or hands-on experience) in Python, especially for data workflows
• Familiarity with Kafka, event-based architectures, and backend design best practices
• Experience with relational databases like Postgres and cloud-based data platforms
• Proactive mindset—you don’t wait for tasks, you help shape them
• Comfortable working across remote teams and cross-functional environments
• Bonus: experience with privacy tech (OneTrust, GDPR tooling) or Databricks

Why Lusha:

• Join a mission-driven group where data, law, and product intersect
• Build systems that truly matter—used daily to support compliant growth
• Work with a tight-knit, global team with high ownership and low ego
• Enjoy full-stack exposure: backend logic, data pipelines, regulatory tooling
• Embrace autonomy and growth in a hybrid Tel Aviv-based role
• Be part of a company where AI is part of the mindset, not just the roadmap
