Hybrid Staff Data Engineer / Databricks / Node.js / React

A fast-growing, profitable technology company in Chicago is hiring a full-time backend-focused engineer to help scale its data and platform infrastructure. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and software development, leveraging modern cloud tools including Azure Databricks, Node.js, and React to support high-volume analytics and automation systems. This is an opportunity to join a product-driven organization where engineering decisions directly influence business outcomes. The company builds technology used by national brands and rapidly growing businesses, and they are investing heavily in data, automation, and platform scalability.

This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy working across systems instead of staying in a single lane. You’ll help design and build data pipelines, backend services, and core platform capabilities while collaborating closely with technical leadership. The team values clean architecture, performance, and thoughtful engineering, not just shipping code. You’ll gain exposure to real‑world scale, executive-level visibility, and the chance to influence how data and software systems evolve together.
