The TEAR team's Billing POD owns the systems that turn Confluent Cloud usage into accurate, reliable billing — [metering and usage aggregation, rating/pricing, invoicing, and integrations with payment/ERP systems]. Billing is mission‑critical: correctness, auditability, and scale are non‑negotiable, and our work directly impacts revenue and customer trust. We move closely with Product, Finance, Design, and downstream platform teams.

This is a full‑stack role, but it leans frontend‑heavy — you'll spend the majority of your time building the billing, usage, and invoicing experiences our customers and internal teams rely on, while still understanding and contributing meaningfully to the backend services behind them. Our stack includes a React, Redux, and Type Script frontend, with [backend: e.g., Go / Java] on Kubernetes, running on [AWS/GCP/Azure].

We use [Kafka/Flink, Postgres, Grafana, Open Search] to build, observe, and reconcile everything we ship.

• Design, build, and operate features across the Billing domain, with a primary focus on the frontend — rich, intuitive billing, usage, and invoicing experiences in React, Redux, and Type Script.
• Contribute to the backend services behind those experiences ([metering pipelines, rating/invoicing, usage aggregation]) — enough to own features end to end, not just the UI layer.
• Independently deliver features end to end with high quality — design, implementation, production rollout, and on‑call ownership.
• Develop reliable, performant systems with a high bar for data correctness, idempotency, and reconciliation across high‑volume usage data.
• Contribute to one‑pagers, design reviews, and KIPs for your product area, and provide thorough PR reviews.
• Strengthen the POD's operational excellence — testing, monitoring, runbooks, and shared ownership of production systems.

Master's Degree
