Just smart, curious humans pushing toward something bigger, together. One Confluent. One Team.
ABOUT THE ROLE: The Traffic & Networking organization is responsible for engineering the foundational fabric that facilitates the movement of vast data volumes between customer sources and our data streaming platform.
By bridging all three major hyper-scalers, we empower streaming application teams to develop a globally distributed, real-time platform capable of processing and replicating data across nearly any geographic region.
In the role of Engineering Director for Traffic & Networking, you will lead the Traffic Control-Plane team in managing a highly resilient, multi-cloud network orchestration layer.
Serving as the central intelligence of our global fabric, the control-plane governs the entire lifecycle of the traffic data-plane and provides customers with networking APIs for seamless integration with Confluent Cloud.
Additionally, it offers a programmable interface for our developers, simplifying the creation of multi-cloud applications by abstracting the complexities of cross-cloud and cross-region connectivity.
