Who you are

- Experience building performant, data-intensive client-side web applications with buttery and intuitive user experiences
- Deep experience and understanding of modern Typescript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS and best practices

What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, with strong front-end experience, interested in building first class support tooling that will help enable our support and engineering teams
- The Admin Dashboard is just one of the critical pieces of internal support tooling at Confluent, used by dozens of technical support and engineering teams on a daily basis to help give our customers the extraordinary customer experience they deserve
- As we push to make the Admin Dashboard a best-in-class application with the potential to integrate with other internal products, we're looking for folks that can help us grow a small (but mighty) team to drive that mission forward. We operate a bit like a startup within a larger company: we move fast, have a high degree of autonomy and flexibility, and strive not to just get things done, but to get them done the "right" way and set a strong foundation for the future
- Together, you'll help us create new features across the UI and API layer in the Admin Dashboard from start to finish, as well as maintain our existing ones. In the process, you'll engage with folks across Confluent in support, engineering, and product. Your work will have immediate and tangible impact and visibility. So, if you're a full-stack engineer with strong front-end chops, we'd love to hear from you!
Our take
Confluent is a commercial company built on top of the open-source Apache Kafka project. Confluent and Kafka have developed a streaming data technology that processes massive amounts of information in real-time. The streaming database technology was developed at LinkedIn as a way of moving massive amounts of messages. The company decided to open-source that tech in 2011, and Confluent launched as the commercial arm in 2014.
While the base open-source component remains available for free download, it doesn’t include the additional tooling the company has built to make it easier for enterprises to use Kafka. Confluent's value add is in those additional tools, including a cloud version of the product and a marketplace for sharing extensions to the platform.
Confluent expanded strategic partnerships with Microsoft and acquired Immerok, and in 2023 expanded its cloud platform. 2024 saw further product expansions with the launch of the Confluent Migration Accelerator, all exemplifying how the company is living up to its name by rocket-boosting the benefits of Apache Kafka integration for companies.
Now, it looks like IBM is eyeing the company for acquisition and Confluent looks to be a natural fit. Long positioned as the real-time backbone behind modern application, Confluent would gain global scale and an even deeper enterprise reach under iBM, while cementing its role at the center of AI-driven architectures. For COnfluent, the deal would marka shift from fast-growing independent disruptor to foundational infrastructure player powering the next wave of enterprise AI.
