We are a team of doers, seasoned engineers, hackers and builders, working on the future of streaming data.

Funded by premier investors including GV and Lightspeed, Redpanda is building the streaming data platform for developers. We’re evolving streaming beyond the Apache Kafka® protocol into a unified “engine of record” that delivers a categorical reduction in complexity, wicked-fast performance, onboard Wasm transforms, and transparent tiered storage that gives consumers access to both real-time and historical data from a single API.
 

You Will: 

  • Contribute to the success of Redpanda Console - a user interface that is used by thousands, striving to eliminate pain points users run into when working with Redpanda and Kafka
  • Work with customers, our community, as well as product, engineering and customer success teams to determine the best set of features and best ways to support key stakeholders
  • Write clear documentation that allows users to learn everything they need to know to integrate Redpanda Console with their environment
  • Review contributions from developers indirectly involved in the project, providing thoughtful feedback to incorporate solid code everybody is happy with
  • Deeply learn the Kafka protocol and the features Redpanda provides
  • Make the lives of our users easy and simple!

You Have: 

  • Strong understanding of Go
  • Experience working in an enterprise startup
  • Passion for making people’s lives easier
  • Strong sympathy for user experience and pain points: if one user vocalizes negative feedback, odds are ten are silently thinking the same thing
  • Care about code quality, and the beauty of well written code
  • Experience diving into large, unknown domains and being able to incrementally drive projects to success
  • Excellent written communication skills
  • Comfortable working with a 100% distributed engineering team, collaborating on GitHub, Slack, and Zoom

Please highlight if applicable to you: 

  • Experience with creating and maintaining build pipelines (GitHub Actions, Buildkite)
  • Knowledge of Kafka or the Kafka protocol



U.S. base salary range for this role is $150,000 - $175,000 (CO, TX) and $180,000 - $210,000 (CA, NY). Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. As a remote-first company, we strive to consider each candidate's job-related skills, location, experience, relevant education or training to determine individual base salary. Your talent partner will share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Redpanda is used by Fortune 1000 enterprises pushing hundreds of terabytes a day, as well as by the solo dev prototyping a React application on her laptop. Think of it as a streaming data API platform that scales with you from the smallest projects to petabytes of data distributed across the globe.
Join Redpanda if you’d enjoy being part of a fast-moving, 100% remote organization with team members around the globe and a culture based on trust, transparency, communication, and kindness.

Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Redpanda Data’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
