  • Monitor and troubleshoot Kafka performance and reliability issues;
  • Implement best practices for Kafka topic design, partitioning, replication, and retention policies;

  • Document architecture, migration plans, and operational procedures.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience with Apache Kafka in production environments;
  • Hands-on experience with AWS MSK and related AWS services;
  • Prior involvement in Kafka migration projects, ideally to/from Confluent Kafka;
  • Strong understanding of Kafka internals: brokers, producers, consumers, zookeepers, schema registry;
  • Familiarity with Confluent Kafka ecosystem (Control Center, ksqlDB, Connectors, etc.);
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) is a plus;
  • Excellent troubleshooting and performance tuning skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Confluent Kafka certification or equivalent experience;
  • Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) in Kafka deployments;
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Kafka monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana);
  • Strong communication and documentation skills.
