Ever wonder what it’s like to be a distributed systems engineer at Confluent? Core Kafka Engineer Jason Gustafson dives into the challenges of working on distributed systems, particularly when it comes to a unique system like Apache Kafka®. He also discusses ways in which Confluent is working with the community to solve active problems and what it takes to be a distributed systems engineer.
As always, Confluent is looking for engineers who are interested in distributed systems, and you don’t have to have 10 years of experience to do it!
