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.
About the role
The Flink Platform team is at the forefront of building a robust control plane for the Flink product, leveraging advanced database storage to ensure high reliability and efficiency. With a vision centered on innovation and excellence, this team is critical to advancing Confluent's Data in Motion initiative and is committed to supplying the industry with solutions that cater to evolving stream processing demands.
Responsibilities
- Develop control plane services that orchestrate Flink job lifecycles (submission, scaling, recovery).
- Build Kubernetes operators and orchestrators for serverless resource management.
- Design APIs for job management, multi-tenancy, and isolation.
- Ensure code quality, test coverage, documentation, and maintainability of components.
- Draft designs, discuss them with stakeholders, and curate/moderate decisions.
- Participate in and help maintain team processes, lead meetings, take initiatives, and join on-call rotations.
- Mentor other engineers with less experience in control plane architecture and more junior developers entering serverless Apache Flink.
Requirements
- 10+ years of relevant software development experience.
- Deep knowledge of distributed systems orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, control loops).
- Experience building high-scale control planes, API servers, or cloud-native infrastructure.
- Knowledge of containerization, networking, and resource isolation.
- Strong problem-solving skills; able to translate complex requirements into effective solutions.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams.
