With Confluent, organisations can harness the full power of continuously flowing data to innovate and win in the modern digital world. We have a purpose that drives us to do better every day -- we're creating an entirely new category within data infrastructure - data streaming. This technology will allow every organisation to create experiences and use the power of data in ways that profoundly impact the way we all live. This impact is our purpose and drives us to do better every day.
One Confluent. One team. One Data Streaming Platform.
Data Connects Us.
About the Role:
We are seeking a cloud infrastructure leader to drive our critical Cloud Architecture and Reliability engineering team against a large and ambitious roadmap. As Confluent grows and requires increasingly complex architecture, the Cloud Architecture and Reliability team is at the center of the conversation, bringing together scalability, efficiency, and resiliency concerns across all of our cloud pillars to ensure the best customer experience on our streaming data platform. The deeply-experienced team is responsible for not only setting critical directions, but also centralizing core components of our resiliency story for others to build from. You will be responsible for further defining the vision, growing and coaching the team, and planning and driving cross-team efforts to solve complex distributed system challenges at scale.
What You Will Do:
Own the overall vision and execution for the Cloud Architecture and Reliability team
Work closely with product management, engineering leadership, and other key stakeholders across various teams in Confluent and Confluent Cloud to build and drive the overall roadmap
Deliver high impact to the business by driving important technical initiatives in areas comprising (but not limited to) security, reliability, multi-tenancy, architectural direction, and major component refactor across organizational boundaries
Work with engineering teams and product on critical aspects of product definition, architectural design, and delivery
Influence the overall domain health and operational hygiene for the Cloud Platform
What You Will Bring:
10+ years of experience in software development and 5+ years in management
Experience designing resilient systems at scale, in the three major CSPs (AWS, Azure, GCP), with a proven track record of “seeing around corners” to reduce complexity and create critical enduring technical foundations
Ability to influence the team, peers, and upper management using effective communication and collaborative techniques
Ability to hire while ensuring a high hiring bar, keep engineers motivated, coach/mentor, and handle performance management
A great track record of timely shipping features and have a sense of urgency, an aggressive mindset towards achieving results, and excellent prioritization skills
Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent
