Kafka Engineer

We are looking for a skilled and motivated Kafka Engineer to design, deploy, and manage scalable, real-time data streaming solutions using Confluent Kafka and Confluent Cloud platforms.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the reliability, performance, and security of our data pipelines and streaming infrastructure.

Your missions:

• Design, configure, and deploy Kafka clusters to support high-volume, real-time data streams.
• Monitor Kafka infrastructure health, performance, and security, and implement necessary optimizations and enhancements.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to Kafka cluster operation, data ingestion, and processing.
• Implement best practices for data governance, access control, and compliance within the Kafka ecosystem.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement end-to-end data pipelines.
• Stay up to date with Kafka-related developments and industry trends, recommending relevant tools and practices.
• Administering/troubleshooting (patching, monitoring queue managers/queues/channels, troubleshooting, etc.) IBM MQ Series would be a strong plus.

Your Profile:

• Proven experience working with Kafka in large-scale, production environments.
• Strong understanding of Kafka architecture, internals, and ecosystem components.
• Expertise in Confluent Kafka and Confluent Cloud.
• Proficiency in Java programming languages for developing Kafka applications.
• Experience with IBM MQ Series (administration, patching, monitoring, troubleshooting) is a strong plus.
• Strong scripting skills in Bash, Python, and PowerShell.
• Familiarity with DevOps tools such as GitHub, Nexus, Jira, Azure DevOps, and Splunk.
• Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools like Terraform and Ansible.
• Solid working knowledge of Linux environments.
• Effective communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
• Self-motivated and proactive with a commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
• Fluent in English
