Senior Software Engineer

Job description

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.

About the Role

Backend engineers at Confluent build the cloud services and systems that power our data streaming platform. You’ll work on large-scale, distributed backend systems that need to be highly available, reliable, and easy to operate.

This is a general L3 backend role used across multiple product and platform teams. Depending on your background and interests, you may work on areas such as core platform services, governance and metadata, observability and telemetry, security and access, or customer-facing application experiences. We’ll align you to a team during the hiring process based on your skills and what excites you.

You’ll partner closely with other engineers, product managers, and designers to ship features end to end — from design and implementation to rollout and ongoing operation in production.
