Software Engineer, Confluent

• BS, MS, or PhD in computer science or a related field, or equivalent work experience
• Strong fundamentals in distributed systems design and development
• Good understanding of the Kubernetes ecosystem
• Knowledge in building and operating large-scale systems
• 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

Desirable

• 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 customers around the globe to deliver streaming applications
• Design, implement and maintain Golang infrastructure services (typically implemented as Kubernetes operators) to deliver the Confluent cloud foundations to the wider engineering organization
• Kubernetes, 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 provisioning, 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 spread across 1000’s of kubernetes clusters in multiple cloud providers and 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
