• Collaborate with partner teams across components like compute platform, schema registry, Kafka, Flink runtime, and cloud control plane to get work done.
• Follow a holistic development approach and be responsible for the code quality, test coverage, documentation, and maintainability of the components you and your team work on.
• Design Components : Implement aspects of Flink runtime, draft designs, discuss them, and curate and moderate a decision with involved stakeholders.
• Open Source contribution : Contribute to relevant changes and features to Open Source Apache Flink and help the community maintain a high-quality project by participating in relevant mailing list discussions and reviewing PRs.
• Open Source visibility : Write blog posts and give talks at meetups and conferences to strengthen the position of Confluent Cloud as industry experts for stream processing and Apache Flink.
• Team : Help to follow and maintain processes, be an active part of the team, lead meetings, take initiatives where feasible, and participate in on-call rotations.

What You Will Bring :

• 2+ years of software development experience.
• Hands-on experience in designing and developing complex distributed systems, especially in the context of Apache Flink.

• Strong problem-solving skills, capable of translating complex requirements into effective solutions.
