  • Deploy, configure, and operate (Kafka) in production-grade environments.
  • Manage for Kubernetes (CfK) deployments, leveraging operator-based lifecycle management.
  • Implement and troubleshoot authentication, authorization, and encryption to secure distributed systems.
  • Administer certificates and integrate the platform with enterprise identity systems (LDAP/AD).
  • Troubleshoot, optimize, and scale clusters running on Kubernetes/OpenShift.
  • Apply DevOps and automation practices (Terraform, Ansible, Helm, CI/CD pipelines) to improve consistency and reliability.
  • Collaborate with security, platform, and application teams to ensure the platform meets enterprise requirements.
  • Support adoption where advanced stream processing is needed.
What You'll Bring
  • Strong hands-on experience with (Kafka): installation, configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
  • Proven experience with Kubernetes (CfK) in production deployments.
  • Advanced knowledge of Kubernetes; OpenShift experience highly desirable.
  • Solid background in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Strong DevOps and automation skills (Terraform, Ansible, Helm, GitOps, CI/CD).
  • Expertise in platform security: TLS/certificates, authN/Z, secure service-to-service communication.
  • LDAP/AD integration experience, including connector configuration and policy enforcement.
  • Familiarity with large-scale cluster management, upgrades, and operational best practices.
  • Understanding of data streaming technologies and concepts is a must (pub/sub, event-driven architectures, stream processing).
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., Certified Administrator for Apache Kafka, Kubernetes certifications such as CKA/CKAD/CKS, cloud certifications).
  • High analytical skills with the ability to solve complex problems in distributed systems.
  • Initiative and flexibility, comfortable adapting in dynamic enterprise environments.
  • Customer orientation, able to collaborate effectively with stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
  • Quality awareness, committed to building secure, reliable, and maintainable platforms.
