Senior Software Engineer

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.

This team’s charter includes building and scaling our cloud-scale, data infrastructure which powers customer-facing metrics and events, and evangelizing platform architecture best practices. This infrastructure enables critical products like Health+, Metrics API, and use cases like billing, deep insights, and product visibility.

We are a team passionate about the observability space of any large-scale distributed infrastructures. In Confluent, we build, operate, and improve systems for logging, notifications & alerts, events detection and routing, and metrics.
