Job Description

As an Engineer / Senior Engineer in the Partner Applied Solutions team, you’ll design and build internal tools, automation frameworks, and partner-facing assets that improve how partners and Confluent teams integrate, test, and operate event streaming solutions. You’ll work across the Confluent stack — from Kafka and connectors to Confluent Cloud APIs, infrastructure automation, and validation tooling — to create durable, reusable components that streamline partner development and ensure reliability at scale. This role sits at the intersection of engineering excellence, partner enablement, and platform maturity — ideal for an engineer who wants to build systems that multiply the impact of others.

Job Responsibility

  • Design and develop robust tools and frameworks that improve how Confluent and its partners build, test, and verify integrations and solutions
  • Build automation and validation systems to ensure Kafka connectors, APIs, and partner integrations are reliable, compliant, and production-ready
  • Develop shared libraries, SDKs, or internal services that simplify repetitive engineering and testing tasks across teams
  • Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Partner Engineering to identify gaps, automate pain points, and deliver solutions that stick
  • Drive the end-to-end lifecycle of your projects — from ideation and prototyping through to production readiness and adoption
  • Contribute to engineering standards, processes, and governance, ensuring PAS-built assets are maintainable and well-integrated
  • Participate in design reviews, contribute to architectural decisions, and mentor peers where appropriate

Requirements

  • Proven experience developing in Java
  • Deep understanding of Apache Kafka, event-driven architecture, and streaming systems
  • Strong engineering fundamentals — distributed systems, API design, automation, and CI/CD practices
  • Comfortable building internal products or frameworks that balance speed, reliability, and maintainability
  • Solid experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to influence and deliver across cross-functional teams

Nice to have

  • Experience in Go, Python, or similar
  • Experience building or testing Kafka connectors or similar data integration systems
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.) and automation pipelines
  • Experience contributing to open-source or building tooling that supports developer communities
  • Experience with partner or ecosystem engineering, particularly where internal tooling intersects with external users

What we offer

  • Remote-First Work
  • Robust Insurance Benefits
  • Flexible Time Away
  • The Best Teammates
  • Experience Ambassadors
  • Open and Honest Culture
  • Well-Being and Growth
