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 help architect and build the systems that power Redpanda’s vision for the Agentic Data Plane, while also shaping the technical culture behind them.
In this role, you will design and develop our Agentic Data Plane product, building on our Bring Your Own Cloud, Serverless, and Redpanda Connect offerings. You will lead system architecture, develop new features, and operate Agentic Data Plane and Redpanda Cloud, helping us meet our 99.99% SLA. You will raise the engineering bar across the Cloud team and collaborate closely with Cloud, Core, and Platform engineering, as well as pre- and post-sales teams, to build robust, scalable systems with a strong emphasis on stability and zero-downtime upgrades.
This is a hybrid role based in our central Warsaw office, with a minimum of 3 days a week on-site.
You Will:
Design, build and operate the Agentic Data Plane and cloud services across AWS, GCP, and Azure, including control plane and data plane components
Convert ambiguous product requirements into clear technical designs and executable workstreams
Contribute to architecture discussions that span the Agentic Data Plane and adjacent Cloud teams
Anticipate technical risks and proactively mitigate them to ensure timely, high quality delivery
Hold a high bar for reliability, scalability, performance, and security in the code and services you ship
Participate in the on-call escalation chain; helping reduce escalations and improve operational health
Build tools and services for automated infrastructure provisioning, deployment, and self-healing
Make resilience and observability integral to the systems you own, enabling us to run enterprise-grade agentic systems and service in the cloud
You Have:
Significant experience designing and operating large-scale, reliable systems in public cloud environments
A track record of leading large 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
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable working in a globally distributed, async environment (e.g., GitHub)
