Meet Marcus, Our February 2023 Confluent Champion

Marcus Greer, a Senior Software Engineer II in Confluent’s Cloud Manageability organization, joined the company after earning a master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon and now works on the Observability team, which develops systems that help internal and external users monitor data-system performance. Over three years, he has seen Confluent evolve from a fast-paced private startup into a public company with more formal processes for security, compliance, and product delivery, while retaining an emphasis on impactful work. His remote-first role involves coordinating across time zones, translating broad company goals into technical plans, reviewing and writing code, and collaborating on features and fixes. Greer is currently helping modernize Confluent’s telemetry infrastructure with OpenTelemetry to standardize metrics and tracing collection. His interest in distributed systems began through coursework in parallel computing, and he chose Confluent over a larger company because of its energetic culture and opportunities for junior engineers to grow. He also identifies stronger onboarding and more in-person connection opportunities as important areas for the company’s continued development as a remote-first organization.
