Job description

BMC empowers nearly 80% of the Forbes Global 100 to accelerate business value, faster than humanly possible. Our industry-leading portfolio unlocks human and machine potential to drive business growth, innovation, and sustainable success. BMC does this in a simple and optimized way by connecting people, systems, and data that power the world's largest organizations so they can seize a competitive advantage.

The Control-M product line is BMC's orchestration and automation platform. It helps the world's largest companies to automate time-sensitive, business-critical workflows. We orchestrate data and machine learning pipelines, supply chains, production lines, financial transactions, and other processes in complex IT environments worldwide. We continuously grow by adding and implementing the most cutting-edge technologies, conducting innovative Just Do It marathons, thinking about new features to add and investing in our employee training programs!

Here is how, through this role, you will contribute to BMC's and your own success:

• Product Engineering (Primary Focus) - Design, build, and iterate on core components of a data automation and data management platform across the full stack, taking features from concept through production in a 0-1 product environment.
• Hands-on Development - Spend most of your time writing high-quality, production-ready code across the stack, including backend development (primarily Java and Python) and frontend development ReactJS (latest versions), reviewing pull requests, and improving existing systems with a strong bias toward simplicity, maintainability, and delivery.
• Technical Architecture Collaboration - Work alongside the product architect to contribute to system design discussions, define full-stack architecture, evaluate trade-offs, and evolve the technical direction as the product matures and real customer constraints emerge.
• Data Platform Capabilities - Implement platform capabilities such as data orchestration, data lineage, observability, governance, and resilience, with a practical understanding of how enterprise customers operate and scale data platforms.
• Integration Cloud Enablement - Build and maintain integrations across frontend and backend with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and enterprise systems to support automation, deployment, and real-world customer environments.
• Engineering Practices - Contribute to pragmatic engineering standards across the full stack, including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, code quality practices, and DevOps methodologies suitable for a fast-moving, early-stage product team.
• Product Collaboration - Partner closely with product management, designers, and stakeholders to translate product requirements into end-to-end working software, provide implementation feedback, and support rapid learning from customer feedback.
• Ownership Execution - Take end-to-end ownership of features and subsystems across frontend and backend, proactively identifying gaps, resolving complex technical challenges, and driving work forward even when requirements are incomplete or evolving.

To ensure you're set up for success, you will bring the following skillset experience:

• 10+ years of professional software development experience, including time spent building and shipping B2B products for external customers.
• Strong proficiency in Java/Python, with hands‑on experience delivering and maintaining production‑grade systems.
• Good system design skills, with the ability to make sensible trade‑offs between short‑term delivery and longer‑term platform evolution.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, startup‑style environments where priorities evolve and engineers are expected to lead through execution.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders.

Broad technical exposure (depth not required in all areas):

• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Familiarity with containerization and distributed systems e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, microservices).
• Exposure to a range of data technologies such as relational databases, cloud data warehouses, data transformation frameworks, and object storage.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.

Whilst these are nice to have, our team can help you develop in the following skills:

• - Solid experience with data products, particularly in one or more of the following areas:
• - Data orchestration
• - Data management platforms
• - Data lineage, observability, or governance
• Experience building or extending workflow orchestration platforms (e.g., Airflow, Dagster, Prefect), including custom operators and production deployments.
• Experience contributing to or commercializing open‑source software.
• Familiarity with AI/ML concepts, including how emerging technologies (such as LLMs) could enhance automation or developer productivity in data platforms.

• Microservice architecture
• AWS (Kafka, SQS, STS)
• C/C++ and Python
• Spring, Sprint boot
• Docker and Kubernetes
• Maven/Git/Continuous integration
