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.

We are looking for an experienced engineer to join our cloud security team and lead efforts in up-leveling Confluent’s cloud security maturity. In this role, you will have a unique opportunity to leverage your software engineering and cloud security experience to build some of the foundational services and controls that keep our infrastructure secure. Experience in developing tools and automation will be key to success as we scale our environments to meet customer demand. You will work closely with peers in the wider Trust & Security organization, and partner closely with engineers across the company.

We intend to be the world's best, fastest, and most complete stream processing service built by an excellent team, all while having fun – join us on the journey!
