• Demonstrated experience taking ownership of complex, large-scale Kafka environments.
• Strong system analysis and design capabilities, particularly in the context of distributed data systems.

• Proficient in building Kafka-based data pipelines and real-time applications using Kafka Streams, ksqlDB, or similar tools.
• Programming expertise in Java, Scala, or Python.
• Familiarity with Kafka Connect, Schema Registry, and integrations with data systems like databases, Elasticsearch, cloud storage, and more.
• Hands-on experience with containerized platforms (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure automation (Terraform, Helm).
• Experience managing Kafka in cloud environments (AWS MSK, Confluent Cloud, Azure Event Hubs, or self-managed).
• Knowledge of monitoring tools and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Control Center, Datadog, etc.).

Preferred Qualifications

• Confluent Certified Kafka Developer or Administrator.
• Experience leading Kafka modernization or re-architecture efforts.
• Background in data governance, event modeling, and schema versioning strategies.
• Familiarity with microservices architecture and event-driven design best practices.
