Nexthink is the leader in digital employee experience management software. The company provides IT leaders with unprecedented insight allowing them to see, diagnose and fix issues at scale impacting employees anywhere, with any application or network, before employees notice the issue. As the first solution to allow IT to progress from reactive problem solving to proactive optimization, Nexthink enables its more than 1,500 customers to provide better digital experiences to more than 25+ million employees. Dual headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland and Boston, Massachusetts, Nexthink has 9 offices worldwide.
Nexthink helps IT teams delight people at work. Behind that promise sits a platform that takes in trillions of events a day from more than 15 million devices, and the Cloud Infrastructure group is the reason the whole thing stays up. All 50+ of our product engineering teams build on the foundations we run. The company has grown from on-prem to cloud and is now bringing more intelligence into the platform, so there is plenty of genuinely interesting work to do on the layer underneath it all.
About the team
The Data Infrastructure team looks after the data backbone: how those events are taken in, processed, stored, and served, and everything that keeps them reliable, fast, and affordable to run. When a piece of data infrastructure becomes important enough that several teams depend on it, looking after it properly becomes our job.
Today that estate covers Kafka (Amazon MSK), ClickHouse (on Amazon EKS), Amazon Aurora, and MongoDB (Atlas) across several AWS regions. We are now adding search, vector, and in-memory stores (OpenSearch, Redis, ElastiCache) to support new product work. You would join a small group of experienced engineers who own their areas from the first design through to running them in production. We like DevOps and CI/CD, we automate the things worth automating, and above all we care about doing the work well.
Why this role matters
Almost everything our customers rely on sits on top of this layer. When a product team promises customers high availability for what they have built, that promise only holds if the Kafka, the databases, and the streaming underneath hold too. Your work allows Nexthink to move quickly and trust the ground they are standing on.
