What you will do
Johnson Controls is building the next generation of intelligent building systems for the world's most demanding environments, hyperscale data centers. We're looking for a technically versatile engineer who loves both crafting intuitive user interfaces and engineering the backend systems that power them.
This role sits inside our Data Center Controls Innovation Engineering team at our Controls Product Development Center in Glendale, WI. You'll be embedded in a collaborative lab and software environment working alongside experienced engineers on middleware platforms, web applications, and building automation systems deployed in critical infrastructure globally. If you're someone who cares about both how a system works under the hood and how a user experiences it on screen, this is the role for you.
This position is 100% on-site at our new Controls Product Development Center and Lab in Glendale, WI, where you'll collaborate closely with cross-disciplinary teams and work hands-on with real products. The role may include up to 20% travel.
How you will do it

• Designing and building full stack features across the entire application layer: RESTful APIs, middleware services, and responsive web UIs

• Writing clean, maintainable code in modern JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Node.js) and Python for backend services and data pipelines

• Developing and maintaining middleware integrations between building automation systems, IoT field devices, and cloud platforms

• Building dashboards and data visualization tools that surface real-time and historical data center telemetry to operators and engineers

• Collaborating with embedded and controls engineers to define APIs and data contracts between device firmware and software layers

• Participating in code reviews, writing unit and integration tests, and supporting CI/CD pipelines

• Tracking development tasks and workflows in JIRA, keeping features visible and shipping on schedule

• Building and presenting technical designs, sprint demos, and status updates for engineering and project stakeholders

• Collaborating with cross-functional and global engineering teams to hit project milestones

What we look for
Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field

• 0 to 5 years of professional or internship experience; new graduates are welcome

• Proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript with hands-on experience in a modern frontend framework (React preferred)

• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and working with backend frameworks (Node.js, Python/Flask, or similar)

• Solid understanding of web fundamentals: HTML, CSS, HTTP, and browser rendering

• Familiarity with relational or time-series databases and writing queries (SQL, InfluxDB, or similar)

• Basic experience with containerization and deployment tooling (Docker, CI/CD pipelines)

• Comfortable working in a Linux/Unix environment and using Git for version control

• Strong problem-solving instincts; you dig into issues and follow threads across the stack rather than waiting for someone else to solve them

• Organized and clear communicator; you can write a concise technical summary and present it to a room

• Proficient with standard engineering and project tools: JIRA, Confluence, or equivalent

• Must be authorized to work in the U.S.; no sponsorship available

• Must be able to work 100% on-site in Glendale, WI; up to 20% travel

• Experience integrating with third-party hardware APIs or industrial protocols (BACnet, Modbus, OPC-UA)

• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and serverless or microservices architectures

• Experience working with cross-functional or globally distributed engineering teams

• An eye for the business context behind engineering decisions
