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. This is a role leading our Kora Global team, the group behind Confluent’s multi‑region replication stack for Confluent Cloud. That includes technologies like Cluster Linking and Multi‑Region Clusters, which are the backbone for customers who need disaster recovery, global data sharing, and aggregation across regions, clouds, and continents.
