Curriculum developer job description

Confluent is pioneering a fundamentally new category of data infrastructure focused on data in motion. Have you ever found a new favourite series on Netflix, picked up groceries curbside at Walmart, or paid for something using Square? That's the power of data in motion in action-giving organisations instant access to the massive amounts of data that is constantly flowing throughout their business. At Confluent, we're building the foundational platform for this new paradigm of data infrastructure. Our cloud-native offering is designed to be the intelligent connective tissue enabling real-time data, from multiple sources, to constantly stream across the organisation. With Confluent, organisations can create a central nervous system to innovate and win in a digital-first world.

We're looking for self-motivated team members who crave a challenge and feel energised to roll up their sleeves and help realise Confluent's enormous potential.

We value having diverse teams and want you to grow as we grow-whether you're just starting out in your career or managing a large team, you'll be amazed at the magnitude of your impact.
About The Role
Did you ever have one of those teachers in a school who captured your imagination, unwrapping the satisfaction of an equation or the hidden meaning behind classical prose? At Confluent this is what teaching is about, imparting the excitement of new technology, the insights and trade-offs you need to build reliable systems and the pervasive idea that data-in-motion is as important as data at rest in the software systems of our future.

Most of all, you'll know how to craft and tell a compelling story, something we believe is vital for capturing the imagination of your audience. In this role, you'll also work alongside some of the industry's most prolific thought-leaders shaping an entirely new category of our software industry.

What You Will Bring:A joy for teaching, making complex concepts simple, and reframing technology in a way that inspires.A technical background, ideally as a programmer, data engineer, or data scientist. Experience designing and developing educational content, talks, lectures, classes, or full-blown training courses. Experience teaching (university, courses, conference talks, etc.), ideally accompanied by public video content that can be used as a reference. A strong understanding of software engineering, work experience in the industry, or computer science/software-oriented degree. Excellent spoken and written EnglishDemonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with multiple teams and stakeholders. Familiarity with online learning applications and media platforms (Udemy, Coursera, Youtube) Some travel required (<10%).Portfolio samples are required during the interview process.
What Gives You An Edge:Knowledge of Kafka, distributed systems, data streaming, and data pipelines.Proficient in at least one programming language, particularly Java, Python, JavaScript, .NET, or Go.You know a thing or two about how enterprise software is built and understand the “why” as well as the “what” behind Confluent's “data in motion” mission.The ability to deliver content on video confidently, articulately, and with personality.Experience with Git, GitHub, Docker.
