Job description

Your role and responsibilities

The Cloud Reliability team at Confluent builds the infrastructure and tooling that keeps Confluent Cloud reliable, secure, and operable at scale. We build the systems that human operators and automated tools depend on to act on Confluent's compute environment, query infrastructure state, and automate remediation. Teams across Confluent rely on what we build to investigate incidents, run operational workflows, and enforce security protections across services.

We are looking for engineers with a passion for building and operating large-scale distributed systems in the cloud. This role provides an opportunity to work on complex infrastructure challenges across multiple domains, including distributed coordination, security and access control, workflow orchestration, and observability.

What You Will Do:

  • Design, implement, and maintain highly scalable infrastructure and internal tooling.
  • Engineer core software systems that empower organizational workflows, incident management, and automated troubleshooting.
  • Solve complex distributed systems problems related to coordination, orchestration, and fault tolerance in massive environments.
  • Optimize the availability, monitoring capabilities, and efficiency of mission-critical, Tier-0 services.
  • Enhance system security through robust access management, adherence to least-privilege principles, and comprehensive auditing.
  • Partner with cross-functional engineering teams to increase operational velocity and safety via advanced automation.

ABOUT BUSINESS UNIT

IBM Software infuses core business operations with intelligence—from machine learning to generative AI—to help make organizations more responsive, productive, and resilient. IBM Software helps clients put AI into action now to create real value with trust, speed, and confidence across digital labor, IT automation, application modernization, security, and sustainability. Critical to this is the ability to make use of all data, because AI is only as good as the data that fuels it. In most organizations data is spread across multiple clouds, on premises, in private datacenters, and at the edge. IBM’s AI and data platform scales and accelerates the impact of AI with trusted data, and provides leading capabilities to train, tune and deploy AI across business. IBM’s hybrid cloud platform is one of the most comprehensive and consistent approach to development, security, and operations across hybrid environments—a flexible foundation for leveraging data, wherever it resides, to extend AI deep into a business.
