Your Role and Responsibilities:

About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team. In this role, you will build the critical components that turn Confluent Cloud data streams into open table formats. You will bridge the gap between operational streaming (Kafka) and analytical data lakes (Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake) by building the control plane and data plane components that materialize topics into tables in real-time.

About the Team:

We are a team of passionate engineers who love solving complex distributed systems and infrastructure problems. The Tableflow team creates the "intelligent connective tissue" between Confluents data streaming platform and the up-to-date data lakehouse. The teams work focuses on two core pillars:
- Control Plane: Building the robust orchestration layer that manages the entire lifecycle of tables across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
- Open Table Formats and Ecosystem: Building the translation logic to publish Kafka data as Tables (Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake) and also integrates with the Lakehouse ecosystem (AWS Glue, Unity Catalog).





What You Will Do:
- Design and implement data plane components that publish data into open-table formats and integrate with the ecosystem.
- Develop control plane services and APIs that orchestrate table lifecycles and resource management.
- Contribute torelevant open-Source projects such as Apache Iceberg.
- Own code quality, test coverage, documentation, and maintainability for your components.
- Drive technical designs, leading discussions to curate and moderate decisions with stakeholders.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and other engineering teams to deliver complex features.
- Lead operational excellence by resolving high-severity incidents, building observability tools, and designing automated workflows to ensure 99.99% availability.
- Be an active team player by leading meetings, taking initiative, and participating in on-call rotations.
