About the role
Redpanda is the first runtime and control plane for agent-data interaction — a unified platform that combines streaming, SQL analytics, and intelligent connectivity with the governance layer enterprise AI agents need in production.
Built on infrastructure already trusted by Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing startups, Redpanda enforces governance entirely outside the agent's data path, controlling what agents see, limiting what they do, and capturing a tamper-proof record of everything they touch, so organizations never have to choose between innovation and control.
About the Role:
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and operate the systems that power Redpanda’s core platform in Cloud, and influence the technical culture behind them. Redpanda Cloud is a platform for data streaming and much more, used by enterprises around the world, and is also the foundation of our Agentic Data Plane product.
In this role, you will design and develop our cloud services, across Bring Your Own Cloud, multitenant, Redpanda Connect, and Redpanda SQL offerings. You will contribute to system architecture, develop new features, and operate Redpanda Cloud, helping us meet our 99.99% SLA. You will collaborate closely with Cloud, Core, AI, and Platform engineering, as well as pre- and post-sales teams, to build robust, scalable systems with a strong emphasis on stability, performance, and high reliability.
You Will:
Design, build and operate Redpanda Cloud services across AWS, GCP, and Azure, including control plane and data plane components
Own features end-to-end, converting ambiguous product requirements into clear technical designs and executable plans
Lead the technical direction of projects, and contribute to architecture discussions that span Cloud and adjacent teams
Anticipate technical risks and proactively mitigate them to ensure timely, high quality delivery
Set and uphold high standards for reliability, scalability, performance, and security
Build tooling and services for automated provisioning, deployment, upgrades and self-healing
Participate in the first-line on-call rotation, maintaining our 99.99% SLA, reducing escalations and improving operational health
Make resilience and observability integral to the systems you own, enabling us to run enterprise-grade cloud services, and provide a firm foundation for our Agentic Data Plane
You Have:
5+ years experience designing and operating large-scale, reliable systems in public cloud environments
A track record of leading complex technical projects end-to-end, from design and planning, to execution and production operations
Strong proficiency in Go (or comparable systems language with willingness to ramp)
Experience with AI-assisted software development workflows including tools like Claude Code
Production experience with Kubernetes, including running and operating workloads
Working knowledge of at least one of AWS / Azure / GCP, including IaC for system and network infrastructure
Familiarity with stream processing concepts
