"Having the chance to intern at Confluent was the opportunity of a lifetime! The type of projects you'll get to work on are endless & you will be surrounded by an amazing group of the brightest minds in tech to help guide you along the way."
Garrett Ramirez
"I started at Confluent as an intern and am now an Analyst within their Finance Department. There are so many questions and unknowns when starting your career and working at Confluent allowed me to grow in my skills, expand my network, and tackle those unknowns. There is a community here that encourages innovation and encourages you to grow in your field."
Ellie Toth
"I learned more about software engineering in 3 months at Confluent than I did in multiple years of school. With robust frameworks for evaluation & growth, meaningful intern projects, & a team of brilliant coworkers, Confluent provided me the opportunity to tackle real-world problems on my own, while still giving me the support I needed to learn as a student."
Ayden Adair
"I love that the products we work on at Confluent strike the right balance between complexity and learnability. It's remarkable how early on every engineer, myself included, can make a significant contribution. I'm grateful to have also met some incredibly smart and supportive colleagues that played a huge role in my growth. If you're eager to make a real impact in a dynamic and challenging setting, you'll feel right at home here!"
