Software Engineer

Hi, we’re Nexthink. We’re not just the leader in the digital employee experience category, we invented the category. Our solutions combine real-time analytics, automation and employee feedback across all endpoints to help IT teams delight people at work. Our cloud-native platform pinpoints issues and solutions, automates response, and helps companies continuously improve their employees’ experience, making them more productive, efficient, and happy at work. We have millions of endpoints deployed, we’ve surpassed $100M in ARR, and we’ve recently secured $180M in Series D financing for a company valuation of $1.1B, but we’re just getting started. 

Job Description

The Data Flow team works with various internal components and services that feed the core functionality of the Nexthink product. For example, they integrate data received from endpoint devices, making it available to other product services for further analysis and processing to get insights into the digital employee experience.

Join a small team of diverse and experienced engineers that has a complete understanding of the components they build or use. The team wholly owns the components built by the team, right from the requirements and design phase through implementation, validation, and deployment (though there is a dedicated Operations team that handles the production environments). You’ll be part of a group that embraces DevOps and CICD principles, tries to automate everything it can, cares for code quality and maintainability, and works together to build a world-class cloud platform with modern technologies and practices.
