Confluent is pioneering a fundamentally new category of data infrastructure focused on data in motion. Have you ever found a new favorite series on Netflix, picked up groceries curbside at Walmart, or paid for something using Square? That’s the power of data in motion in action—giving organizations instant access to the massive amounts of data that is constantly flowing throughout their business. At Confluent, we’re building the foundational platform for this new paradigm of data infrastructure. Our cloud-native offering is designed to be the intelligent connective tissue enabling real-time data, from multiple sources, to constantly stream across the organization. With Confluent, organizations can create a central nervous system to innovate and win in a digital-first world.
We’re looking for self-motivated team members who crave a challenge and feel energized to roll up their sleeves and help realize Confluent’s enormous potential. Chart your own path and take healthy risks as we solve big problems together. We value having diverse teams and want you to grow as we grow—whether you’re just starting out in your career or managing a large team, you’ll be amazed at the magnitude of your impact.
Confluent's Information Security internship includes an application security project and a security incident response project. The former area is engineering-heavy whereas the latter is operations-oriented. This internship will not only provide broad exposure to InfoSec engineering and operations, but also grow hands-on technical skills in both application security and incident response.

What We're Looking For:

  • Security awareness and being security-minded
  • Exposure to enterprise software R&D, cloud SaaS DevOps, CI/CD process and toolchain
  • Basic knowledge of Information Security and familiarity with Information Security concepts
  • Some hands-on technical experience in dynamic application security scanning (DAST), e.g., Burp Suite
  • Familiarity with OWASP Top 10 application vulnerabilities/threats and mitigations
  • Experience with programming/scripting languages such as Go, Python, which are needed for automation
Come As You Are
At Confluent, equality is a core tenet of our culture. We are committed to building an inclusive global team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, beliefs, and experiences. The more diverse we are, the richer our community and the broader our impact.
