Product Manager, Cloud Native Kafka

Confluent is pioneering a fundamentally new category of data infrastructure focused on data in motion. Have you ever found a new favorite series on Netflix, picked up groceries curbside at Walmart, or paid for something using Square? That’s the power of data in motion in action—giving organizations instant access to the massive amounts of data that is constantly flowing throughout their business. At Confluent, we’re building the foundational platform for this new paradigm of data infrastructure. Our cloud-native offering is designed to be the intelligent connective tissue enabling real-time data, from multiple sources, to constantly stream across the organization. With Confluent, organizations can create a central nervous system to innovate and win in a digital-first world.

We’re looking for self-motivated team members who crave a challenge and feel energized to roll up their sleeves and help realize Confluent’s enormous potential. Chart your own path and take healthy risks as we solve big problems together. We value having diverse teams and want you to grow as we grow—whether you’re just starting out in your career or managing a large team, you’ll be amazed at the magnitude of your impact.

Confluent runs some of the largest Kafka deployments in the world on behalf of our customers. In order to scale Confluent’s managed Kafka offering, we have had to completely rethink what it means for Kafka to be Cloud Native. Confluent’s CEO, Jay Kreps, outlines how Confluent has made Kafka more cloud-native during the most recent Kafka summit keynote. 

As a Product Manager in the Cloud Native Kafka team at Confluent, your job will be to take Kafka’s Cloud-Native journey on Confluent Cloud to the next level. You will drive making Confluent Cloud the most performant data streaming platform, build cloud-native features, improve our multi-tenant product offerings, and innovate on our serverless strategy. You will partner closely with the core engineering to prioritize the needs of our customers and other engineering teams to make our Confluent Cloud clusters scale, perform, and provide an amazing customer experience.

At Confluent, equality is a core tenet of our culture. We are committed to building an inclusive global team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, beliefs, and experiences. The more diverse we are, the richer our community and the broader our impact.
