Job Description:

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 role sits in the Platform design team. This team’s scope spans high-impact, horizontal product areas, including: Kafka, Trust & Security, Cloud Platform, Networking, Monetization, Observability, UI Platform, Navigation, and AI Assistant.

Job Responsibility:

Designing foundational, reusable patterns (navigation, resource management, settings, dashboards) that appear across Confluent Cloud
Tackling complex, system-level UX problems where reliability, safety, and clarity are critical
Working on data-rich, configuration-heavy experiences, where good data visualization and information architecture are key
Design end-to-end flows and interfaces for platform experiences such as observability, billing, and monetization
Create clear data visualizations (dashboards, charts, tables, timelines) that help users understand the state and health of their systems, usage, and configurations
Work within and contribute to Confluent’s design system, ensuring consistency across multiple product areas while evolving patterns as the platform grows
Participate in discovery and research with PMs, Eng partners, and user researchers: framing problems, mapping journeys, exploring concepts, and running or supporting usability tests
Turn complex technical and business requirements into simple, approachable UX for the Developer and the Operators personas
Collaborate in a highly cross-functional, global environment, aligning with adjacent teams and representing user needs in planning and prioritization
Show up as an easy-going, humble, and collaborative teammate: open to feedback, generous with your own, and focused on collective outcomes over individual ego

Requirements:

3+ years of experience as a Product Designer / UX Designer working on web-based products, ideally in B2B or SaaS
Demonstrated experience designing data-heavy or analytical interfaces, including thoughtful use of charts, tables, and information hierarchy
Experience collaborating closely with product managers and engineers to ship features from discovery through implementation and iteration
Comfort using and extending a design system, and working with shared patterns across multiple surfaces or product areas
A portfolio that clearly explains your design process, problem framing, options explored, and the impact of your work
Strong communication skills and a low-ego, collaborative working style
you enjoy pairing with others, learning from feedback, and adapting your approach
Based in Canada, with the ability to work effectively with North America–based and Europe-based teams and occasional travel for team onsites (1–2 times per quarter)

Nice to have:

Experience with platform, infrastructure, admin, or billing tools, or prior work in cloud, developer tooling, observability, or security domains, is a plus
Familiarity with data visualization UX best practices and tools
