Software Engineer I

Work from home Full-time role Hiring

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:

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.

  • Orchestrator - Cluster Lifecycle Mgmt

  • Orchestrator - Core Infra

What You Will Do:

  • Collaborate with experienced engineers to build and maintain core components of the Cloud Manageability platform, such as Health+, Metrics API, and Alert Platforms.

  • Write clean, efficient, and well-tested code while gaining hands-on experience with large-scale distributed systems and cloud-native technologies.

  • Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and sprint planning to continuously improve the quality and performance of our systems.

  • Take ownership of small projects and deliver features that directly impact the reliability and usability of Confluent Cloud for internal and external users.

What You Will Bring:
  • A recent graduate who will be working remotely based in the UK with a UK address at the time of application

  • Graduated from a Bachelor’s or Master's program in Computer Science, or a related technical field

  • Good knowledge of data structures and algorithms and proficiency in at least one of these languages: Java, C, C++, Python, Go

  • Self-motivated and able to drive projects with mentorship and project requirements

  • Smart, humble, and empathetic and able to work effectively in teams and strong verbal and written communication skills
