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.

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.

Confluent Cloud delivers a complete end-to-end streaming experience via a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. To deliver a simple, understandable, and scalable product experience requires abstracting the complex interactions of underlying cloud infrastructure, networking, storage, and compute powering a stateful distributed system.

As a Senior Product Manager on the Cloud Networking Product team, you’ll contribute to the mission of making connectivity to and from Confluent Cloud reliable, scalable, secure, cost efficient and simple to use so that users can focus on building streaming applications instead of managing infrastructure. Cloud networking with focus on private networking is an enabler for all services offered on Confluent Cloud and is a strategic investment area for Confluent with the potential to impact the company’s top and bottom lines.
