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.

Job Responsibility

  • Represent and strengthen engineering leadership in India, setting standards for execution, communication, and engineering excellence
  • Build and evolve processes that enable teams to operate at scale without sacrificing quality or velocity

Requirements

  • 10+ years of hands-on software development experience, with a proven ability to anticipate future technical needs and execute toward them
  • A strong track record of taking ideas from concept to production in complex, high-scale systems
  • Willingness to roll up your sleeves—design, code, debug, and operate critical systems
  • Deep experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems, including strong fundamentals in OS, networking, storage, and cloud infrastructure

  • A proactive, self-starter mindset with strong problem-solving skills—identifying root causes and driving durable fixes
  • Ability to balance short-term execution with long-term architectural integrity
  • ship incrementally and iterate with urgency
  • Strong influence skills—able to drive technical decisions across teams and senior leadership through clear, data-driven communication
  • Experience handling high-severity production issues, including on-call ownership, deep debugging, and mitigation under pressure
  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to have

  • Experience in open-source development
  • Experience using Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, Apache Spark is a big plus
