Job Description
About Confluent
At Confluent, we are committed to providing competitive pay and benefits that are in line with industry standards. We analyze and carefully consider several factors when determining compensation, including work history, education, professional experience, and location. In addition, Confluent offers a wide range of employee benefits.
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.
About the Role
It takes a certain kind of person to join this team. Those who ask hard questions, give honest feedback, and show up for each other. No egos, no solo acts. Just smart, curious humans pushing toward something bigger, together.
One Confluent. One Team. One Data Streaming Platform.
As a Staff Product Manager in the Kafka Connect team at Confluent, you’ll contribute to the mission of building the world’s best data streaming platform. You will help drive Confluent Connect’s Enterprise feature portfolio. You will also be responsible for enabling seamless, enterprise-grade integration between Kafka and common external systems, and supporting on-premise deployments and managed services in Confluent Cloud. You are expected to use or introduce AI/ML capabilities for the features you are building or enhancing. You will be working with the field on many GTM initiatives and be the focal point for customer success.
