Be one of the first members of the team that assists our Redpanda customers

We are building Redpanda, a real-time streaming engine for modern applications. Redpanda is used by Fortune 1000 enterprises pushing hundreds of terabytes a day, and by the solo dev prototyping a React application on her laptop. We go beyond the Kafka protocol into the future of streaming, with onboard WASM transforms and geo-replicated hierarchical storage. Think of it as a data API platform that scales with you from the smallest projects to petabytes of data distributed across the globe.
We are on a mission to enable every developer to supercharge their real-time applications, and we are looking for engineers to support our SaaS offering to customers across the globe.
