_Overview
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.
About The Role
We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to architect, build, and operate security services that are core to the company’s cloud infrastructure and product platforms. This is a hybrid engineering role, blending deep software development expertise with hands-on operational excellence.
You will design highly scalable security services (authentication, authorization, identity, secrets management, policy enforcement, security telemetry pipelines, etc.), while also ensuring these systems are reliable, observable, and resilient in production. You’ll work across engineering, security, compliance, and platform orgs to deliver secure-by-default building blocks that empower product teams to integrate security seamlessly.
