Senior Big Data Engineer

ControlUp is a leader in Digital Employee Experience (DEX), evolving IT operations with agentic AI to deliver Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM) and a digital workspace that runs itself.

Our platform transforms millions of real-time signals into intelligent action, bridging the gap between deep visibility and automated remediation. We turn "IT headaches" and employee frustration into self-healing operations, allowing organizations to move beyond reactive troubleshooting toward a future where technology works seamlessly in the background.

We're here to ensure the workday runs without disruptions. No tool sprawl, no wasted time, and no friction. Just technology that works for people, not against them, so they can stay focused on what they do best.

One platform. One powerful shift in how work flows.

About the Role:

We're looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join our DEX Platform and help drive the next stage of our growth. In this role, you'll design, build, and scale data infrastructure and advanced processing pipelines that power real-time insights and intelligent automation across our platform.

As a senior data engineer, you'll own the full service lifecycle - from architecture and development to deployment, monitoring, and scaling -while ensuring data quality, reliability, and compliance. You'll work closely with backend, AI, and data teams to deliver robust, production-ready systems that support our AI-first strategy and our mission to make the workplace run itself.

What You'll Bring:

• 5+ years of backend / data engineering experience
• Proficiency with Java (Vert.x, Spring, or similar)
• Hands-on experience with Kafka and streaming frameworks like Kafka Streams, Flink, Spark, or Beam
• Solid understanding of microservices architecture and cloud platforms (Azure / AWS / GCP)
• Familiarity with AI-first development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor) - an advantage
• Experience working in production-aware, observability-driven environments- monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing
• Knowledge of Postgres, Redis, MySQL or similar, and ClickHouse
• Experience in Node.js (NestJS / Express) - a big advantage
• Strong foundation in object-oriented design, design patterns, and clean code practices
• Comfortable designing, deploying, and maintaining backend services and data flows
• Passion for learning, experimenting with new tech, and building reliable systems at scale

Why You'll Love It Here:

• Global, Not Isolated: You'll work with a diverse team spanning the US, EMEA, and Israel. We're known for our vibrant social culture, and once a year, the entire global company comes together for a major offsite to reconnect in person.
• Meaningful Impact: Make a real impact from day one, working with cutting-edge technology in a fast-paced, global environment.
• Collaborative & Growth-Driven: Join a collaborative, empowering culture where learning and professional growth are encouraged.
• True Flexibility: We offer a hybrid model. We care about the output of your expertise, not the hours you spend in a specific chair.
