Description
What you will do About the Role: The Confluent Cloud Platform based on Apache Kafka is the leading Cloud Native Platform as a Service for streaming data infrastructure, but this is just the beginning. We are building a PaaS enabling customer around the globe to deliver streaming applications. What You Will Do: • Design, implement and maintain Golang infrastructure services (typically implemented as Kubernetes operators) to deliver the Confluent cloud foundations to the wider engineering organization • Terraform, Datadog, Prometheus and a strong command of Linux, public cloud and networking should come as standard - though Golang software engineering will be your primary focus • As a Confluent Cloud Infrastructure Software Engineer, you will be working alongside the rest of the Confluent engineers to build our PaaS product • You, and the rest of the team, will be responsible for the availability, performance, monitoring, emergency response, and capacity planning of the Confluent cloud • If you love the hum of big data systems covering 10,000's of instances, thinking about how to make them run as smoothly and securely as possible, and want to have a big influence on the architecture plus operational design points of this new product, then you will fit right in 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. What we offer What Gives You an Edge: • Experience with Golang is advantageous • Experience using Apache Kafka is a big plus 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. Requirements What You Will Bring: • 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) • A self-starter with the 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)
