Senior Data Engineer

Kiryat Ono- Main Office · Full-time · Senior

About The Position

Kendago is on a mission to redefine how consumers go from noticing a need to buying the right solution online. In an internet shaped by AI, fragmented attention, and constantly shifting platforms, we build, own, and scale top-performing brands and offers - both our own and those of leading partners — by combining proprietary technology, data-driven decision making, and creative excellence at performance scale.
We operate at consumer scale, reaching millions of people every day across paid channels, owned funnels, and digital touchpoints. In a world where creative trends, consumer behavior, and platform algorithms shift overnight, Kendago stays ahead of the curve.
We move fast, think deeply, and build with purpose. Our culture is rooted in entrepreneurship, innovation, and collaboration - along with shared wins, team dinners, and a whole lot of good food and laughter.
We’re a team of doers, and boundary-breakers - product, data, R&D, growth, and creative talent who own the full stack of how consumer brands are built and scaled today. After 17 years in the game, every funnel, every test, every brand decision happens in-house - which means your work moves the needle directly and visibly. If you’re ready to tackle meaningful challenges, grow at lightning speed, and help shape the next frontier of consumer brand building, you belong here.
