Description
Requirements
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
Requirements
- 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
