Requirements:

BS, MS, or PhD in computer science or a related field, or equivalent work experience
3+ years of relevant cloud infrastructure/cloud networking experience
Good fundamentals in distributed systems design and development
Experience building and operating large-scale systems
A strong background using Kubernetes

A self-starter with the ability to work effectively in teams
Proficiency in Go, Python, C++, or other statically typed languages

Nice to Haves:

Design, implement and maintain Golang infrastructure services (typically implemented as Kubernetes operators) to deliver the Confluent cloud foundations to the wider engineering organization
Terraform, Datadog, Prometheus and a strong command of Linux, public cloud and networking should come as standard - though Golang software engineering will be your primary focus
As a Confluent Cloud Infrastructure Software Engineer, you will be working alongside the rest of the Confluent engineers to build our PaaS product
You, and the rest of the team, will be responsible for the availability, performance, monitoring, emergency response, and capacity planning of the Confluent cloud
If you love the hum of big data systems covering 10,000's of instances, thinking about how to make them run as smoothly and securely as possible, and want to have a big influence on the architecture plus operational design points of this new product, then you will fit right in
