Easter Seals Jobs

With Confluent, organizations can harness the full power of continuously flowing data to innovate and win in the modern digital world. We have a purpose that drives us to do better every day – we're creating an entirely new category within data infrastructure - data streaming. This technology will allow every organization to create experiences and use the power of data in ways that profoundly impact the way we all live. This impact is our purpose and drives us to do better every day.

One Confluent. One team. One Data Streaming Platform.

Data Connects Us.

About the Role:

The Experiences And Interfaces (E&I) Org has a broad charter to impact all of Confluent’s Engineering organization: deliver intuitive, easy to use products and features that enable data processing on a data in motion platform that is easy to try, buy, operate and develop on.

As a Technical Program Manager (TPM), your day-to-day functions involve juggling multiple initiatives across numerous teams, stakeholder functions (Product, Design, Security, etc.), and geographies. While closely monitoring dependencies with other orgs, you will also help with planning, prioritization, risk management, stakeholder reporting, operations and tradeoffs. A cross-org strategic view is particularly important for managing these projects within the lens of horizontal, multi-quarter projects.

Driving these initiatives requires prior experience managing horizontal programs, having an operational focus, experience with cross-org dependency management, the ability to deep-dive into technical issues and organizational problem-solving. A big focus for the TPM here would be to shield the development teams from chaos and streamline processes for smooth and successful on-schedule delivery of long-ranging programs.

Programs you own may span complex technical projects involving improving performance and scalability. Hence knowledge of CS fundamentals as well as data streaming is preferred to deep-dive into technical areas to support these programs successfully.

What You Will Do:

• Manage multi-year end to end technical programs.

• Ensure we can deliver projects on time, regularly communicating progress and status to key stakeholders.

• Explain technical architecture, and tradeoffs to engineering and other functions in order to drive business decisions.

• Run cross-functional meetings and drive decision-making around schedule adjustments, bug triage, and internal and external partner/customer delivery.

• Take ownership of engaging with various engineering and product stakeholders to drive execution, including understanding potential risks and alignment models for competing priorities.

What You Will Bring:

• Strong technical skills and ability to dive deep into technical concepts and architecture in detail. Knowledge of data streaming architectures, Kafka, or Flink is a plus.

• Prior TPM experience in driving end-to-end lifecycle of complex and large scale programs across organizations.

• Experience driving horizontal programs with numerous incoming requests and ability to ruthlessly prioritize. Experience with UI/UX, Design, and Frontend dev teams is a big plus.

• Experience driving operational efficiency and implementing scalable/repeatable processes across teams is also a big plus.

• Strong communication, interpersonal and leadership skills to work with engineering and non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience in highly agile environments applying JIRA reporting and sprint planning is a big plus.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
