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.

About the Role

Confluent is going places. We want software engineers to join us on this journey as participants and beneficiaries as we put data in motion. So, what role does our team play at Confluent, and how can you help?

Our team focuses on adding resiliency to Confluent Cloud by adding scalability to our systems and processes. Our responsibilities cut across the organization where we gain knowledge in both breadth and depth of the inner workings. Our goal is to help teams spend time in building features for our customers rather than in manual processes or operational toil. We build and partner in managing the critical infrastructure they need to make their services reliable, available, and durable (in short... resilient).

Our engineers work with large-scale distributed systems with a focus on codifying infrastructure, making self-healing systems, and automating everything (where possible). We are passionate about reducing downtime, incidents, and toil, and that passion makes us experts in these areas.

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 the challenges of a fast-paced, innovative software startup environment

What We're Looking For

  • BS, MS, or PhD in computer science or a related field, or equivalent work experience
  • 2+ years industry experience designing, building, and supporting backend systems in production
  • Strong fundamentals in distributed systems design and development
  • Experience building and operating large-scale systems
  • Solid understanding of basic systems operations (disk, network, operating systems, etc)
  • A self-starter with the ability to work effectively in teams
  • Proficiency in Go, C/C++, or other statically typed languages
  • Experience/knowledge with public clouds (AWS, Azure or GCP)

What Gives You An Edge

  • Control Plane experience
  • Kubernetes Experience
  • Terraform or similar config management tech Experience

Come As You Are

At Confluent, equality is a core tenet of our culture. We are committed to building an inclusive global team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, beliefs, and experiences. The more diverse we are, the richer our community and the broader our impact. Employment decisions are made on the basis of job-related criteria without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other classification protected by applicable law.

Confluent requires all employees (in office and remote) in the U.S. to be vaccinated for COVID-19. Consistent with federal, state, and local requirements, Confluent will consider requests for reasonable accommodation based on medical conditions/contraindications or sincerely-held religious beliefs where it is able to do so without undue hardship to the company.
