Details
We’re not just building better tech. We’re rewriting how data moves and what the world can do with it. With Confluent, data doesn’t sit still. Our platform puts information in motion, streaming in near real-time so companies can react faster, build smarter, and deliver experiences as dynamic as the world around them.
It takes a certain kind of person to join this team. Those who ask hard questions, give honest feedback, and show up for each other. No egos, no solo acts. Just smart, curious humans pushing toward something bigger, together.
One Confluent. One Team. One Data Streaming Platform.

- Build and operate the Confluent cloud foundations used by product and platform teams
- Own availability, performance, monitoring, emergency response, and capacity planning of Confluent Cloud
- Work with large-scale systems across tens of thousands of instances, influence architecture and operational design
- Use infrastructure tooling such as Terraform, Datadog, Prometheus and apply strong Linux, public cloud, and networking knowledge alongside primary Golang engineering work
Requirements
- BS, MS, or PhD in computer science or a related field, or equivalent work experience
- 4+ years of relevant cloud infrastructure / cloud networking experience
- 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.)
- Self-starter with ability to work effectively in teams
- Proficiency in Go, Python, C++, or other statically typed languages
- Experience / knowledge with public clouds (AWS, Azure or GCP)
What Gives You an Edge
- Experience with Golang is advantageous
- Experience using Apache Kafka is a big plus
