Description

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 everyday – 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.

  • Work with designers to understand and build components styling, from interactions to specification.
  • Work with product managers to build a user experience.
  • Build out a test plan and get sign-off from all stakeholders once development and testing has been completed.
  • Write, monitor, and manage large scale system deployments.
  • Triage Cloud incidents and monitor errors from Confluent's Javascript monitoring service.
  • Triage bugs and troubleshoot production issues.
  • Participate in the code review processes.
