Join to apply for the Senior Software Engineer II role at Confluent

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

We are looking for a seasoned engineer to join our developer tooling experience. In this role, you will bring the vision of transforming our developer experience for Confluent Cloud customers to life by solving complex challenges at scale. As an engineer in developer tooling experience, you will work closely with Frontend engineering and other Backend engineering teams and other key stakeholders to design, architect, and build out client-side libraries and services powering the Confluent Cloud to enable delivery of new business opportunities as we are building the next generation Data Streaming Platform. You will help drive end-to-end technical delivery from design through testing to deployment in Production in a fast-paced development cycle. You are not confined to the status quo and you leverage your expertise in Cloud-native, large-scale distributed systems to help deliver our industry leading platform.

What You Will Do

• Own and operate the overall Software Development Lifecycle including, but not limited to design, coding, testing, infrastructure, security, operations, etc.
• Collaborate across engineering and other key stakeholders to build and drive the overall roadmap for developer tooling experience.
• Deliver high impact to the business by planning and executing on important technical initiatives in areas comprising (but not limited to) visualization, data analysis, developer tooling, SDKs, platforms / frameworks, architectural direction, and major component refactor across organizational boundaries.

What You Will Bring

Minimum of 5 years of software development

Technical experience in large scale systems engineering or distributed systems

Experience in Cloud Native technology including networking & security

Experience in multiple programming Languages and IDEs (java, go, python, etc.)

Experience running production services in cloud

Ability to influence the team, peers, and direct management using effective communication and collaborative techniques

Familiarity with interviewing to ensure a high technical hiring bar and experience mentoring junior talent.

A track record of removing friction, identifying critical changes needed, an active mindset towards achieving results, and excellent prioritization skills
