Overview

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:

We are a team of passionate engineers who love solving complex distributed systems and infrastructure problems. We are building Kora from the ground up to be a true managed service for clients who demand high levels of availability and performance at the lowest cost of ownership. In this role, you will be working on building a highly available, performant, reliable, durable, scalable, and multi-tenant storage engine for Kora. You will be instrumental in driving the technical solutions end-to-end, working closely with the team and key stakeholders to design, architect, and develop top-notch solutions.

What You Will Do:

Build the software underpinning the mission-critical Confluent Cloud storage engine. You will play a crucial role in designing, developing and operationalizing high performance, scalable, reliable and resilient systems.

Independently drive execution of software projects to deliver complex projects in production with a focus on quality.

Identify root causes, and get beyond treating symptoms - motivated to dig deep and solve hard problems

Troubleshoot issues and improve operations for complex technical stack that spans all the 3 clouds.

Have a strong sense of teamwork and be able to make decisions which benefit the team and company.

Customer focused - making customers more successful by taking on their most challenging problems motivates you.

What You Will Bring:

BS, MS, or PhD in computer science or a related field, or equivalent work experience

2+ years of relevant cloud infrastructure/cloud networking experience

Strong fundamentals in distributed systems design and development

Experience building and operating large-scale systems in the Cloud

Solid understanding of basic systems operations (disk, network, operating systems, etc)

A self starter with the ability to work effectively in teams

Proficiency in Java, Scala, C/C++, Go or other statically @typed languages

What Gives You an Edge:

A strong background in distributed storage systems or databases

Experience in the areas of resource management and QoS

Experience/knowledge with public clouds (AWS, Azure or GCP)

Interest in evangelism (giving talks at tech conferences, writing blog posts evangelizing Kafka)

Ready to build what's next? Let's get in motion.

Come As You Are

Belonging isn't a perk here. It's the baseline. We work across time zones and backgrounds, knowing the best ideas come from different perspectives. And we make space for everyone to lead, grow, and challenge what's possible.

We're proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. Employment decisions are based on 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 law.
