Remote job description

Confluent is pioneering a fundamentally new category of data infrastructure focused on data in motion. Have you ever found a new favorite series on Netflix, picked up groceries curbside at Walmart, or paid for something using Square? That's the power of data in motion in action-giving organizations instant access to the massive amounts of data that is constantly flowing throughout their business. At Confluent, we're building the foundational platform for this new paradigm of data infrastructure. Our cloud-native offering is designed to be the intelligent connective tissue enabling real-time data, from multiple sources, to constantly stream across the organization. With Confluent, organizations can create a central nervous system to innovate and win in a digital-first world.

We're looking for self-motivated team members who crave a challenge and feel energized to roll up their sleeves and help realize Confluent's enormous potential. Chart your own path and take healthy risks as we solve big problems together. We value having diverse teams and want you to grow as we grow-whether you're just starting out in your career or managing a large team, you'll be amazed at the magnitude of your impact.

The next big goal for Confluent is to make it as easy as possible for anyone to use Confluent's products including Kafka to build their next killer streaming application. To do that, we are building the Confluent Cloud, which provides our products as a service in all the major public clouds. We are at the beginning of this engineering journey and are looking for great engineers to come join the world-class team of engineers that are passionate about building and running large scale, multi-tenant distributed data systems for customers that expect a very high level of availability.

Who You Are:

  • Smart, humble, and empathetic
  • Have a strong sense of teamwork and put team's and company's interests first
  • Driven and excited about challenges of a fast-paced, innovative software startup environment

What We're Looking For:

  • 5+ years of experience in software/application development, design & architecture
  • Strong fundamentals in distributed systems design and development
  • Familiarity with Kafka or similar high-scale distributed event streaming platforms
  • Solid experience working with large private or public clouds
  • Proficiency in Java, Go, or C/ C++ and experience working with Kubernetes and similar cloud native technologies
  • Solid understanding of basic systems operations (disk, network, operating systems, etc)
  • A self starter with the ability to work effectively in team with excellent spoken / written communication
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or similar field or equivalent

What Gives You An Edge:

  • Experience in open-source development
  • Experience using Apache Kafka
