Summary

Kafka Platform Engineer (AWS, MSK, Terraform, DevOps)

We are seeking a hands-on Kafka Platform Engineer to support and scale our enterprise event-driven architecture running on Amazon MSK within AWS.

This role will own Kafka infrastructure, automation, and operational excellence across a hybrid cloud ecosystem.

Core Responsibilities

Kafka Platform Ownership

Operate and support Amazon MSK in production
Design and manage multi-AZ / multi-region Kafka architectures for high availability
Topic design, partitioning strategy, retention tuning, and capacity planning
Troubleshoot consumer lag, rebalancing, broker performance, and throughput bottlenecks
Manage Schema Registry and enforce schema governance

Kafka Connect & Integration

Deploy and manage Kafka Connect clusters
Configure and troubleshoot source/sink connectors
Support real-time integrations into Snowflake and other enterprise systems

Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Advanced)

Build and maintain Terraform modules for MSK, networking, IAM, security groups, and supporting AWS services
Deep understanding of Terraform lifecycle meta-arguments, state management, modules, and remote backends
Automate environment provisioning across dev, test, and prod

AWS & DevOps

Strong understanding of AWS networking (VPCs, subnets, security groups, IAM)
Experience supporting production workloads in AWS
CI/CD pipeline integration for infrastructure and Kafka deployments
Monitoring and observability (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Dynatrace, or similar)

Security & Governance

Kafka ACLs, IAM integration, encryption, secrets management
Experience working in regulated enterprise environments

What We Are NOT Looking For

Application developers who have only produced/consumed messages
Pure DevOps engineers without deep Kafka experience
Theoretical knowledge without production ownership
