Job Description:

Software Engineer Backend - Cloud Marketplaces and Partnerships At Confluent, we're creating a category that transforms how every company manages and streams data. Have you ever found a new favorite series on Netflix, picked up groceries curbside at Walmart, or paid for something using Square? That's Confluent in action-giving our customers instant access to massive amounts of real-time data, enabling them to thrive in an ever-changing digital world. As one of the fastest-growing enterprise companies in history, and with Fortune 100 customers across major industries, we have a tremendous opportunity in front of us. We also have experience on our side. Our leaders have taken companies of our size to major success before and include some of the original creators of Apache Kafka--. We're looking for self-motivated team members who crave a challenge and feel energized to roll up their sleeves and help realize Confluent's unlimited potential. Chart your own path and take healthy risks with the backing and support of our #OneTeam culture. Be part of inclusive initiatives like Employee Resource Groups and development programs, and take advantage of benefits that support our diverse global teams. Grow as we grow-whether you're just starting out or managing a large team, you'll be amazed at the magnitude of your impact. Confluent and Kafka help connect the wide variety of cloud provider services, internal apps, third party services, and everything else modern companies use. Your job will be to make Confluent Cloud available as a SaaS platform on our cloud infrastructure partners (currently AWS, Azure, and GCP) and other partners (ISVs, channel partners, and more). Success means developers can discover, try, buy, and use Confluent Cloud seamlessly with the wide range of other cloud services they're already using.-- In this role, you will be building marketplace integrations with cloud partners in managing subscription workflows, usage-based reporting, identity and cloud partner product integrations. You will get an opportunity to work on business critical flows from ideation to completion by closely collaborating with Cloud Infrastructure partners, Product Managers, different engineering and business teams. We've taken the first step by integrating with the cloud provider marketplaces, but there's so much more we can do and even integrating Confluent Cloud directly into the cloud provider consoles, plus integrating with other software vendors like MongoDB, Snowflake, and others. Marketplace integrations are a key driver of our business, and you will have an opportunity to make a significant impact to Confluent Cloud. We hope you'll join us and help discover even more opportunities.
