Distinguished Software Engineer
Credit Acceptance Corporation San Francisco, California
At Credit Acceptance, we are building on the foundation of a successful business while investing in the future through technology, data, AI, and continuous improvement. As we continue to evolve, our Team Members play an active role in improving experiences, driving meaningful change, and shaping the future of our business. We foster an environment where people are empowered to contribute ideas, develop their careers, make an impact, and help lead our continued transformation. Our Engineering teams are helping shape the future of Credit Acceptance through innovation. Team Members collaborate across the organization to solve complex challenges, build impactful solutions, challenge the status quo, and support informed business decisions. We value curiosity, continuous learning, and new ideas from people who are passionate about driving modernization and meaningful business impact. Credit Acceptance makes vehicle ownership possible for consumers other lenders decline, through a dealer network, an originations and servicing platform, and pricing and decisioning models refined over decades. The technology estate underneath this business was built project by project over a long period, and modernizing it is the largest engineering opportunity at the company. As the Distinguished Engineer, you are the senior-most individual contributor in Technology, reporting directly to the Chief Technology Officer. You will set the multi-year technical strategy for the company while staying close enough to the code and systems to remain credible - this is not an architect role that reviews designs from a distance, nor a strong engineer role that goes deep in a single domain. Two things sit at the center of the job: the target architecture for the enterprise, and the architecture for running AI agents across it. You will not own a team; you will own the hardest technical problems the company has, and get them resolved by convincing the people who do own the teams. Outcomes and Activities Enterprise target architecture: Convene the principal and staff engineers who own each domain to define the end-state architecture across originations, servicing, marketplace, data, and AI, and use it to drive the multi-year plan. Ensure every component has a defined interface with stated inputs and outputs, every unmade decision has a written principle standing in for it, and the document states honestly how close the organization is to the end state. Publish the architecture, including the tradeoffs that were rejected and why. Agentic AI architecture across the enterprise: Own the enterprise agent architecture spanning servicing and collections, the dealer side, originations, and internal engineering and back-office workflows, built on one common foundation rather than one stack per team. Establish a governed way for agents to discover and call business capabilities, data, and tools, using the Model Context Protocol as the integration layer. Define an identity and authorization model that treats an agent as a first-class actor with its own least-privilege entitlements, along with observability, evaluation, and cost controls that work consistently for every agent. Set policy on what an agent may decide independently versus what stays with a person, and define where that line moves and on what evidence. Design the architecture to produce an examiner-ready record of what each agent saw, recommended, and touched, and set the evaluation and adversarial testing approach that makes agent outcomes defensible. Ensure the same foundation and controls apply to agents built by outside firms on the company's behalf. Migration off on-premises infrastructure: Own the technical strategy for migrating transactional and analytical workloads off on-premises infrastructure to the company's strategic targets - AWS for transactional workloads and Databricks for analytical workloads - determining what lifts and shifts, what replatforms, what gets re-architected on the way versus after, and what the steady-state cost looks like. Own the resilience and recovery architecture for the target state. Data platform architecture: Set the architecture for change-data-capture-based ingestion, streaming where warranted, and a modern warehouse with no job-scheduling dependency, moving the organization from largely batch analytical data movement to real time. Help settle the open question of who owns the transactional and analytical data models. Real-time decisioning, model serving, and experimentation: Architect for pricing and credit model and scorecard updates that drop in as a layer rather than requiring a multi-quarter rebuild, and for an experimentation platform that supports orders of magnitude more concurrent experiments than a conventional release process allows. Marketplace and search architecture: Own the architecture and interfaces for a unified vehicle inventory, consumer search, and lead routing platform, ensuring the data model supports more than one class of seller from the start. AI-native engineering practice: Define the golden path for how software is specified, generated, reviewed, tested, and deployed, including the analyzers and gates that enforce it, and measure the inputs to that practice rather than just the outputs. Hold the build-versus-buy bar for AI capability, building what is core competency and about to scale, and renting the rest. Performance and peak readiness: Own the instrumentation, baseline, and remediation architecture needed to meet the standard that no page takes more than one second. Own peak-event headroom, including understanding the limits of each system and maintaining tested degradation levers ahead of need. Operating approach: Move the organization from project-shaped systems toward owned platforms with stated contracts. Document every component's inputs and outputs, and be ready to argue why closely coupled components should not be consolidated into one. Work toward a two-week requirement-to-production iteration bar, treating architecture that cannot be delivered incrementally as unfinished. Name what comes off the plan whenever a change in direction is requested. Make the call and own the outcome on architectural recommendations. Treat security, privacy, auditability, and regulatory obligation as design inputs from the start in this regulated environment. Hands-on, not hands-off: This is not optional. Stay personally engaged in the technical work rather than directing it from a distance. Join design reviews, write proofs of concept, read code, and engage in incident analysis. This hands-on time does not replace the work the teams own, and it is not a fallback when delivery slips. Every engineer in the organization will read how you write, how you argue a design, how you handle being wrong, and how you treat engineers who disagree with you as the bar. Staff and principal engineers should be measurably better at this work for having worked with you. Success measures: A published target architecture the domain owners agree with and that the annual and long-range plans are actually written against; an enterprise agent foundation that internal teams and partners build on, with access controls, evaluation, and audit records in place; a credible, dated, costed migration path off on-premises infrastructure and demonstrated progress against it; measured improvement in chosen input metrics such as latency, availability, recovery objectives, deployment frequency, and experiment throughput; growth in the number of principal and staff engineers who are better at this work as a result of this role; and architectural decisions that stop being relitigated because the reasoning was written down and the interfaces were clear. Competencies Customer Empathy: Customer Empathy is the ability to understand the perspectives, pain points, and experiences of customers. It involves actively putting oneself in the customer's shoes, comprehending their needs and challenges, and using that understanding to provide a better, more customer-centric experience. Engineering Excellence: Engineering Excellence is about bringing great craftsmanship and thought leadership to deliver an outstanding product that delights customers and solves for the business. This involves the pursuit and achievement of high standards, best practices, innovation, and superior solutions. One Team: A One Team mindset refers to a collaborative approach across the organization, where individuals work together seamlessly, without boundaries, as a single, cohesive team. Shared goals, open communication and mutual support create a sense of collective purpose. This enables teams to navigate challenges and pursue shared objectives more effectively. Owner's Mindset: Owner's Mindset involves adopting a set of behaviors that reflect a sense of responsibility, accountability, strategic thinking, and a proactive approach to managing your domain. As an owner, you understand the business and your domain(s) deeply and solve for the right outcome for the domain(s) and the business. Requirements Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or closely related field of study; or equivalent work experience Minimum 10 years of software engineering experience or comparable depth of experience A track record of setting and delivering multi-year technical strategy at enterprise scale, as an individual contributor rather than through a reporting line. Depth in distributed systems architecture, and in at least two of: agentic or LLM-based systems in production; large-scale cloud migration of transactional systems; modern data platform and lakehouse architecture; machine learning platform and model serving; high-traffic consumer or marketplace applications. Architecture ownership of agentic or LLM-based systems that reached production, including how tool and data access were governed, how the system was evaluated . click apply for full job details

Senior Software Engineer, AI-Native
Carpe Santa Barbara, California
Job Description About Carpe & the Role Carpe is an AI-native company building platforms and data products that help P&C insurance carriers make better decisions. At Carpe, we don't hand-write code anymore. We build with AI. As a Senior AI Software Engineer, you will turn business needs and prototypes into reliable production systems by directing frontier models and coding agents, shaping the environments they work in, and verifying what they deliver. AI is your primary way of building-not an autocomplete tool added to a traditional coding workflow. You bring extensive hands-on experience with frontier models, agents, and agent harnesses, plus the engineering judgment to take their work all the way through AWS deployment and production operation. You'll have a say in how we build. Our design and architecture patterns give you a solid starting point, not a set of limits. If a new approach or technology will better serve our customers, make the case. We care far more about how you think through tradeoffs than whether you've used every tool we use. Responsibilities Turn business needs into executable work. Partner with Product to define the problem, constraints, acceptance criteria, and customer outcome. Give agents the specifications, repository context, examples, and verification steps they need to deliver the right solution; resolve ambiguity before it becomes working software that solves the wrong problem. Architect systems and direct AI delivery. Break complex work into bounded tasks, choose interfaces and data flows, and direct agents through implementation, integration, and debugging. Use our approved patterns to address scale, latency, reliability, and data correctness across products. You own the architecture and outcome, even when AI produces the code. Build effective agent workflows and harnesses. Scope and steer bots through our team workflow, including Slack and Linear. Configure the context, tools, permissions, execution environments, and feedback loops around agents; manage handoffs, checkpoints, and recovery when they stall or go off course. Run a tight build-and-verify loop: the agent builds, you exercise the result in a live test environment, feed back precise findings, and repeat until the acceptance criteria are met. Choose models and approaches deliberately. Evaluate frontier models and coding agents on real engineering tasks, comparing output quality, reliability, context handling, latency, and cost. Match the model and harness to the work, and adapt as capabilities change. Let customer outcomes, not tool loyalty, guide decisions. Prove the result, not the agent's claim. Review architecture and generated changes at the level the risk demands; personally inspect sensitive changes. Use independent checks, representative data, automated tests, regression checks, and end-to-end behavior to catch plausible-but-wrong output. Where systems use models at runtime, evaluate their behavior and failure modes too. Ship and operate in AWS. Take AI-built software through cloud deployment and production support with QA and DevOps. Direct and verify infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD changes; understand access controls, secrets, networking, data storage, rollout, and rollback. Use logs, metrics, and traces to diagnose failures, verify recovery, and own incident follow-through-including failures introduced by agents. Make the next AI build better. Turn successful approaches and failures into reusable agent instructions, repository guidance, harness improvements, and verification routines. Keep architecture and operational context current so both people and agents can build on it. What we are looking for 7+ years of professional software engineering, delivering and supporting production systems (overall experience, not five years with today's AI tools). Extensive frontier-model experience. Substantial use of frontier models across multiple model families-for example, OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini-in real software delivery. You can explain which models you choose for planning, implementation, debugging, and review; where they fail; and how you evaluate a new release. You actively experiment and clearly prefer building with AI over a hand-coding-first workflow. Extensive agent and harness experience . You have shipped meaningful work with coding agents and agent harnesses-not just chat prompts or autocomplete. Examples may include Claude Code, Codex, other agentic development environments, or custom harnesses. Extra credit for OpenClaw. You can configure repository instructions, context and tool access, isolated execution, task decomposition, verification, and recovery, and explain when orchestration helps versus adding overhead. End-to-end systems ownership. You have personally designed a complete system through professional or substantial independent work, with relevant professional experience around similar systems. Show how you directed AI from an initial specification through a working, deployed result, what you personally decided, and how you established that it worked. You don't need to have led a large-system initiative. Engineering depth behind the agents. Strong programming, debugging, architecture, and systems reasoning. You can read and interrogate generated code, trace data flows and service interactions, identify flawed assumptions, and steer a correction. We value your ability to make AI-built systems correct and maintainable-not the volume of code you type. AWS and cloud deployment experience. You have deployed and supported production software in AWS and understand the path from repository to running service: infrastructure as code, CI/CD, compute or containers, storage, networking, IAM, secrets, observability, and rollback. Explain a deployment or incident you owned and how you verified the outcome. Roll-up-your-sleeves, low-ego collaboration . Comfortable steering agents, investigating failures, explaining tradeoffs, and influencing without direct authority in a small. Share work and blockers openly, move across products, and help teammates improve their AI workflows while staying accountable for the customer outcome. Why Carpe? Your work shows up fast. At our size, what you build reaches customers quickly, and you quickly make an impact Growth: We have a clear growth framework with defined levels and competencies, so you always know what's expected and what "next" looks like. Collaboration: Work with teams in sales, marketing, engineering, product, and customer success. We Live our Values: Be Bold, Be Creative - Lead with Empathy - Act Like an Owner Flexible working hours and flexible vacation policy 100% Carpe-paid health, dental, and life insurance (Additional benefits at Employee cost) Full-time permanent positions are eligible for the Carpe Data Bonus Plan. 401k with company matching Location We are headquartered in Santa Barbara, CA.

Job Description About Carpe & the Role Carpe is an AI-native company building platforms and data products that help P&C insurance carriers make better decisions. At Carpe, we don't hand-write code anymore. We build with AI. As a Senior AI Software Engineer, you will turn business needs and prototypes into reliable production systems by directing frontier models and coding agents, shaping the environments they work in, and verifying what they deliver. AI is your primary way of building-not an autocomplete tool added to a traditional coding workflow. You bring extensive hands-on experience with frontier models, agents, and agent harnesses, plus the engineering judgment to take their work all the way through AWS deployment and production operation. You'll have a say in how we build. Our design and architecture patterns give you a solid starting point, not a set of limits. If a new approach or technology will better serve our customers, make the case. We care far more about how you think through tradeoffs than whether you've used every tool we use. Responsibilities Turn business needs into executable work. Partner with Product to define the problem, constraints, acceptance criteria, and customer outcome. Give agents the specifications, repository context, examples, and verification steps they need to deliver the right solution; resolve ambiguity before it becomes working software that solves the wrong problem. Architect systems and direct AI delivery. Break complex work into bounded tasks, choose interfaces and data flows, and direct agents through implementation, integration, and debugging. Use our approved patterns to address scale, latency, reliability, and data correctness across products. You own the architecture and outcome, even when AI produces the code. Build effective agent workflows and harnesses. Scope and steer bots through our team workflow, including Slack and Linear. Configure the context, tools, permissions, execution environments, and feedback loops around agents; manage handoffs, checkpoints, and recovery when they stall or go off course. Run a tight build-and-verify loop: the agent builds, you exercise the result in a live test environment, feed back precise findings, and repeat until the acceptance criteria are met. Choose models and approaches deliberately. Evaluate frontier models and coding agents on real engineering tasks, comparing output quality, reliability, context handling, latency, and cost. Match the model and harness to the work, and adapt as capabilities change. Let customer outcomes, not tool loyalty, guide decisions. Prove the result, not the agent's claim. Review architecture and generated changes at the level the risk demands; personally inspect sensitive changes. Use independent checks, representative data, automated tests, regression checks, and end-to-end behavior to catch plausible-but-wrong output.

Collaborate with peer product managers who own downstream experiences including AI, context delivery, and application integration, to ensure the engine meets the needs of the products built on it. Work with customers and design partners to validate use cases across real-time analytics, operational applications, and AI, shaping the developer experience and refining go-to-market positioning. Collaborate with Confluent's broader product and platform teams to ensure tight integration with Kafka, Flink, and Confluent Cloud. Define success metrics, cost models, and pricing strategy for a new product area. Influence Confluent's company-wide platform strategy through executive-level communication and cross-functional leadership. Required Skills What You Will Bring: Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience. 8+ years of experience in product management or related technical roles. 5+ years of experience taking technical infrastructure or data products from conception to launch. Deep familiarity with real-time analytics, database internals, or streaming data platform architecture, either through product management or hands-on engineering. Experience defining and launching products in the data infrastructure, analytics database, or stream processing space. Strong technical judgment, comfortable navigating tradeoffs in distributed systems, storage engines, query performance, and cost optimization. Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives with executive-level visibility and communicating technical strategy to senior leadership. Preferred Skills Engineering background in analytical databases, stream processing, or distributed storage systems. Experience with real-time OLAP engines (e.g., ClickHouse, Apache Druid, StarRocks, Apache Pinot) as a builder, product manager, or power user. Familiarity with Kafka, Flink, or similar streaming infrastructure. Experience building products that serve AI/ML workloads for retrieval, feature serving, or context delivery. Prior experience with cloud-native infrastructure products and consumption-based pricing models. Experience working on open source data infrastructure projects.

Senior Software Engineer, Backend -- Booking Platform & APIs
Atlas Consulting Group, LLC. New York, New York
Job Description Senior Software Engineer, Backend - Booking Platform & APIs New York, NY We are representing a client that is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to lead the technical work and be the primary hands-on builder for our API. In your first year, multiple distribution partners and an authorized AI agent should complete real bookings through the same versioned API. You will evolve a production Rails and Postgres booking system used by millions of guests. The hard work is keeping prices and inventory correct, preventing overselling, surviving retries and partial failures, and reconciling systems when they disagree. Your ownership and team You will own the API's day-to-day technical roadmap and design decisions. In this hands-on individual contributor role, you will write production code, lead focused designs, guide migrations, and operate what you build. You will partner with our Staff Engineer on foundational domain and architecture choices. You will be the primary builder, but you will not work alone. Other backend engineers will contribute and build supply, PMS, and POS connectors using the patterns you establish. Product, Partnerships, and hotel operations will work with you from requirements through production launch. This is one of our highest-impact technical bets. What you build will determine how quickly Our client can enter new booking channels and categories. This role works from our NYC headquarters four days per week. The base salary range is $190,000-$210,000, plus equity, based on experience. What you'll do Build and launch the external Client API. Define stable, versioned contracts for live pricing, availability, holds, booking creation, changes, and cancellations. Make booking operations safe under real failures. Design idempotency, recovery, webhooks, and reconciliation for retries, timeouts, duplicates, and partial success. Evolve the core booking domain. Create clear models and invariants for products, schedules, prices, inventory, holds, carts, and bookings. Make the platform extensible. Prove that a new category such as events or food and beverage can use the shared booking model instead of requiring a separate system. Own the architecture for supply, PMS, and POS integrations. Create reusable connector patterns so other engineers can add partners without reinventing failure handling and reconciliation. Define the data contracts that keep inventory discoverable through OpenSearch. Search is supporting technology for this role, not its primary ownership area. Operate what you build. Set reliability and latency targets, and add the tests, metrics, dashboards, alerts, tracing, and runbooks needed for a critical booking path. Turn partner needs into durable platform capabilities, explain tradeoffs clearly, and raise the engineering bar through practical reviews and mentoring. How we ship We move quickly by building quality from the start. A change is done when it is tested, deployed, observable, and safe to roll back. We use AI tools aggressively, but engineers remain accountable for architecture, correctness, and production outcomes. Tech stack Backend: Ruby on Rails, Node.js Data: Postgres, MongoDB Search: OpenSearch APIs and integrations: REST, OpenAPI, webhooks Infrastructure and observability: AWS, Datadog Testing: RSpec, Playwright Who you are We encourage candidates to apply even if they do not match every line below. You have 6+ years of software engineering experience, or a track record of equivalent impact. You have designed transactional systems, built external APIs or integration platforms, and safely evolved data models in production. You understand relational modeling, concurrency, consistency, asynchronous workflows, and distributed failures. You turn complex business rules into clear boundaries, lifecycle states, contracts, and invariants. You can lead an important system as its primary builder while collaborating on foundational decisions. You care about correctness, testing, observability, and safe rollouts. You communicate directly, listen well, and improve the work of engineers around you. Ruby on Rails experience is useful, but not required. Experience with marketplaces, reservations, inventory-constrained commerce, public APIs, or third-party booking systems is also helpful. We care most about your backend judgment, track record, and ability to learn. What success looks like in 6-12 months Multiple distribution partners and an authorized AI agent complete real bookings through one reusable API. The full booking lifecycle meets agreed targets for correctness, success rate, latency, overselling, recovery, and reconciliation. Reusable contracts and connector patterns materially reduce the work required to onboard the next partner. The shared booking model supports at least one new category without a separate booking system. As the API becomes a company-wide platform, this role can grow toward Staff through demonstrated impact across the booking domain, integrations, and distribution.

Staff Software Engineer - Event-Driven Architecture
Intellibus New York, New York
Job Description Intellibus designs and engineers platforms trusted by some of the most established FinTech and financial trading firms in the world. Our engineering teams build systems that power high-volume trading, real-time financial data, and mission-critical infrastructure. We expect our engineers to operate at a level where technical depth, sound judgment, and clear communication all carry weight - the problems are complex, the systems are production-critical, and the people you work with will hold you to a high standard. The Staff Engineer Role We are hiring a Staff Engineer to design, build, and own full-stack systems powering financial platforms - from frontend architecture to backend services to distributed event-driven infrastructure. This is not a role where you pick up tickets and ship features. You will be expected to think end-to-end: to understand the business problem, design the system, make the trade-offs, and deliver production-grade software that performs reliably under heavy load. You will work directly with senior stakeholders across technical and non-technical functions, often navigating competing priorities, ambiguity, and high-pressure timelines. The ability to communicate clearly, manage complexity across people and systems, and maintain a high quality bar when things get difficult is essential. If you have built and shipped systems that mattered - at a startup, at a large company, or somewhere in between - and you are looking for a role where you will be challenged technically while also growing your ability to operate in complex, high-stakes environments, we want to hear from you. What You Will Do Frontend Architecture Build scalable frontend platforms using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Design modern UI architectures: server-side rendering, component-driven design, performance optimization, and state management patterns. Develop reusable component systems and scalable frontend frameworks. Backend Engineering Build backend services using Node.js and NestJS. Design and implement REST APIs, microservices, asynchronous workflows, and high-performance data processing systems. Work with SQL and NoSQL databases using TypeORM, and optimize for throughput and reliability. Event-Driven & Distributed Systems Design distributed systems built on event-driven architecture using Kafka, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, and messaging/queue systems. Build services that process high-volume financial events and real-time trading data. Cloud & Infrastructure Deploy and operate systems on Microsoft Azure, including Azure App Services, Azure Data Fabric, messaging platforms, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and Linux environments. Design infrastructure that supports resilient, scalable distributed systems. What Sets You Apart We are looking for engineers who demonstrate several of the following: You have designed and operated event-driven distributed systems that process high-volume real-time data. You have a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and time complexity - and you apply that understanding to build systems, not just pass interviews. You have built full-stack platforms using React/Next.js and Node.js/NestJS that run reliably in production. You have hands-on experience with message queues, streaming platforms, and asynchronous workflows - Kafka, Azure Service Bus, BullMQ, or similar.

Job Description Intellibus designs and engineers platforms trusted by some of the most established FinTech and financial trading firms in the world. Our engineering teams build systems that power high-volume trading, real-time financial data, and mission-critical infrastructure. We expect our engineers to operate at a level where technical depth, sound judgment, and clear communication all carry weight - the problems are complex, the systems are production-critical, and the people you work with will hold you to a high standard. The Staff Engineer Role We are hiring a Staff Engineer to design, build, and own full-stack systems powering financial platforms - from frontend architecture to backend services to distributed event-driven infrastructure. This is not a role where you pick up tickets and ship features. You will be expected to think end-to-end: to understand the business problem, design the system, make the trade-offs, and deliver production-grade software that performs reliably under heavy load. You will work directly with senior stakeholders across technical and non-technical functions, often navigating competing priorities, ambiguity, and high-pressure timelines. The ability to communicate clearly, manage complexity across people and systems, and maintain a high quality bar when things get difficult is essential. If you have built and shipped systems that mattered - at a startup, at a large company, or somewhere in between - and you are looking for a role where you will be challenged technically while also growing your ability to operate in complex, high-stakes environments, we want to hear from you. What You Will Do Frontend Architecture Build scalable frontend platforms using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Design modern UI architectures: server-side rendering, component-driven design, performance optimization, and state management patterns. Develop reusable component systems and scalable frontend frameworks. Backend Engineering Build backend services using Node.js and NestJS. Design and implement REST APIs, microservices, asynchronous workflows, and high-performance data processing systems. Work with SQL and NoSQL databases using TypeORM, and optimize for throughput and reliability. Event-Driven & Distributed Systems Design distributed systems built on event-driven architecture using Kafka, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, and messaging/queue systems. Build services that process high-volume financial events and real-time trading data. Cloud & Infrastructure Deploy and operate systems on Microsoft Azure, including Azure App Services, Azure Data Fabric, messaging platforms, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and Linux environments. Design infrastructure that supports resilient, scalable distributed systems. What Sets You Apart We are looking for engineers who demonstrate several of the following: You have designed and operated event-driven distributed systems that process high-volume real-time data. You have a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and time complexity - and you apply that understanding to build systems, not just pass interviews. You have built full-stack platforms using React/Next.js and Node.js/NestJS that run reliably in production. You have hands-on experience with message queues, streaming platforms, and asynchronous workflows - Kafka, Azure Service Bus, BullMQ, or similar. You reason clearly about system trade-offs: latency vs. throughput, consistency vs. availability, speed vs. reliability. You have operated systems in cloud environments like Microsoft Azure, including debugging production incidents and improving performance under pressure. You design systems end-to-end and take ownership of architecture and production outcomes - not just the code you wrote. You have mentored other engineers and contributed to architecture reviews, engineering standards, and technical decision-making. You communicate well under pressure.

Our legacy of innovation creates endless opportunities for IBMers to learn, grow, and make an impact on a global scale. Working in Software means joining a team fueled by curiosity and collaboration. You'll work with diverse technologies, partners, and industries to design, develop, and deliver solutions that power digital transformation. With a culture that values innovation, growth, and continuous learning, IBM Software places you at the heart of IBM's product and technology landscape. Here, you'll have the tools and opportunities to advance your career while creating software that changes the world. Your Role and Responsibilities About the Role: Today, enterprises stitch together separate systems for streaming, analytics, and serving. Each of these systems come with its own latency, cost, and operational overhead. The next evolution of Confluent's platform collapses that complexity by continuously materializing streaming data into fast, queryable state that serves real-time analytics, operational applications, and downstream intelligent systems from a single foundation. As a Staff Product Manager, you'll own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the core streaming analytics engine underlying Confluent's real-time data platform. This system sits at the intersection of stream processing, real-time analytical databases, and modern serving infrastructure, continuously transforming data in motion into low-latency, queryable materialized views that power AI agents, dashboards, operational queries, and event-driven applications. You'll own the engine: the storage, materialization, query layer, and performance, while partnering with peer product managers who own the downstream product experiences built on top of it. This is a foundational, high-leverage role. You'll define a new product category that brings together concepts from streaming analytics, real-time OLAP, materialized views, and modern database systems into a cloud-native, streaming-first architecture. You'll partner directly with engineering, design, and senior leadership to bring this to market and position Confluent as a compelling alternative to standalone real-time analytical databases. What You Will Do: Own the product strategy for Confluent's streaming analytics engine: storage, materialization, query serving, performance, and developer experience. Develop competitive strategy against established real-time analytical databases, articulating Confluent's differentiated value as a streaming-native alternative. Drive key architectural and product tradeoffs across consistency, latency, query performance, cost, and developer ergonomics. Partner deeply with engineering to navigate the technical complexity of building a new cloud-native data system at scale. Collaborate with peer product managers who own downstream experiences including AI, context delivery, and application integration, to ensure the engine meets the needs of the products built on it. Work with customers and design partners to validate use cases across real-time analytics, operational applications, and AI, shaping the developer experience and refining go-to-market positioning. Collaborate with Confluent's broader product and platform teams to ensure tight integration with Kafka, Flink, and Confluent Cloud. Define success metrics, cost models, and pricing strategy for a new product area. Influence Confluent's company-wide platform strategy through executive-level communication and cross-functional leadership. Required Skills What You Will Bring: Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience. 8+ years of experience in product management or related technical roles. 5+ years of experience taking technical infrastructure or data products from conception to launch. Deep familiarity with real-time analytics, database internals, or streaming data platform architecture, either through product management or hands-on engineering. Experience defining and launching products in the data infrastructure, analytics database, or stream processing space. Strong technical judgment, comfortable navigating tradeoffs in distributed systems, storage engines, query performance, and cost optimization. Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives with executive-level visibility and communicating technical strategy to senior leadership. Preferred Skills Engineering background in analytical databases, stream processing, or distributed storage systems. Experience with real-time OLAP engines (e.g., ClickHouse, Apache Druid, StarRocks, Apache Pinot) as a builder, product manager, or power user. Familiarity with Kafka, Flink, or similar streaming infrastructure. Experience building products that serve AI/ML workloads for retrieval, feature serving, or context delivery. Prior experience with cloud-native infrastructure products and consumption-based pricing models. Experience working on open source data infrastructure projects.
