Senior Software Engineer II - Confluent

As a Senior Software Engineer, you think strategically and you help drive end-to-end technical delivery from customer experience to scaling internal operations. You are not confined to the status quo and you leverage your expertise in Cloud-native, large-scale distributed systems to help take our platform to the next level. You worry about key operational aspects (availability, reliability, performance, monitoring, emergency response, capacity planning, disaster recovery) of our new Compute Platform, and you make sure that we have a highly-available, resilient and secure offering that our largest customers can rely on.What You Will Do

• Ensure robust isolation & security: Solve complex distributed systems challenges to ensure strict resource isolation, security, and performance guarantees for diverse workloads running on our shared platform.
• Troubleshoot & debug: Dive deep into a complex technical stack that includes microservices, Kubernetes, containers, and virtualization to resolve critical issues.
