Job description
from Confluent careersWe’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:
The Traffic & Networking organization is responsible for engineering the foundational fabric that facilitates the movement of vast data volumes between customer sources and our data streaming platform. Our infrastructure ensures secure, private, and high-performance connectivity across AWS, Azure, and GCP with minimal latency and optimized costs. By bridging all three major hyper-scalers, we empower streaming application teams to develop a globally distributed, real-time platform capable of processing and replicating data across nearly any geographic region.
