FullTime
**Location Type:**

Engineering
**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.

**What You Will Do:**
+ Lead and drive the technical vision and execution for the Fleet Management team.
+ Develop, manage, and maintain mission-critical services with a 99.99% SLA running on AWS, GCP, and Azure.
+ Enhance stability, performance, scalability, and operational excellence across multiple systems.

+ Prior experience working on AWS, GCP, or Azure, with a deep understanding of cloud best practices.
+ Proven ability to influence the team, peers, and management using effective communication and collaborative techniques.
+ Demonstrated experience in leading and mentoring technical teams.
+ Ability to solve high leverage problems and drive solutions for unknown areas.
+ BS Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience (an advanced degree is preferred).
**What Gives You an Edge:**
+ Expertise in cloud-native technologies and a deep understanding of cloud best practices.
+ Experience with Confluent's Kafka platform or other streaming platforms.
**Ready to build what's next? Let's get in motion.**
**Come As You Are**
Belonging isn't a perk here. It's the baseline. We work across time zones and backgrounds, knowing the best ideas come from different perspectives. And we make space for everyone to lead, grow, and challenge what's possible.
We're proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. Employment decisions are based on job-related criteria, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other classification protected by law.
