  • Use Chef, Ansible, or similar tools to automate system configurations, application deployments, and middleware setups.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines integrating Kafka components and infrastructure changes using Jenkins, Git, and other DevOps toolchains.
  • Perform root-cause analysis, optimize throughput, tune brokers/producers/consumers, and manage high-severity production incidents.
  • Provide architectural leadership for event-driven solutions, real-time data processing, and streaming ecosystems across cloud and hybrid environments.

Skill set requirement:

  • 10+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Platform Engineering roles.
  • Hands-on expertise with Confluent Kafka (Cloud and On-Prem).
  • Advanced knowledge of AWS (VPC, IAM, Networking, Security, EKS nice to have).
  • Strong proficiency in Terraform.
  • Strong CI/CD experience with Jenkins, Git, and automated deployment pipelines.
  • Experience managing and monitoring large-scale distributed systems.
  • Strong understanding of event-driven architecture, data streaming patterns, and real-time integration.
