Senior Software Engineer II - Kafka Client

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: The Clients team has a vision to provide a great Kafka developer experience for the user communities by aiming to simplify and improve the usability of our non java languages open source libraries. As a staff engineer, you will design, build, and own the product engineering decisions by closely working with the team, product managers, customers, and other stakeholders. You will drive architectural decisions and lead in shaping the product landscape around client interfaces through their ease of use, reliability, and efficient development. You will touch on a number of language interfaces across all popular programming languages, as well as develop and advance the core C/C++ capabilities backing those interface languages.
