Senior Software Engineer, Confluent

• Strong software design and implementation skills in building infrastructure frameworks
• Deep expertise in building distributed systems
• Experience with one or more of these programming languages - Go, C++, Java, or Python
• Experience in a full project lifecycle starting from zero lines of code to operating, observing and supporting a product as part of an on-call rota
• Solid understanding of Kubernetes and Docker

Desirable

• As a Software Engineer, Cloud Control Plane, you will be designing and implementing a distributed control plane used by product teams to manage the lifecycle of their Confluent Cloud offerings
• We are a tightly knit group with a fairly mature Agile process running a very mild version of the XP playbook - we care a lot about clear communication, a good degree of task breakdown and a whole lot of pairing with other engineers. We pride ourselves in how we get stuff done - our process is light on red tape and heavy on collaboration - we will give you the authority and autonomy to make decisions
• Delve deep into the Kubernetes framework - we have K8S contributors working with us internally
• Provision infrastructure using a mixture of Terraform and internal tooling and deploy your changes using Helm
• Thrive working iteratively in a fast-paced Scrum environment where you'll use our product and be very much DevOps driven
• You'll be expected to not only ship code but also operate and support it before and after release - that includes having a deep understanding of what your code will run on
