About the role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build and maintain the Gravitee Event Gateway, with Kafka as the primary protocol — across the gateway runtime and the event-streaming experience in Gamma, Gravitee's next-generation product surface.
What they're looking for
- We are looking for evidence that you can succeed in the role, whether gained through employment, open-source work, or equivalent practical experience:
- 5+ years building and running production backend software, on a team that ships and supports its own product, you have personally resolved production incidents
- Strong Java experience (C# accepted if the object-oriented depth is there), with Maven and a reactive, non-blocking stack such as Netty/Vert.x with backpressure
- Solid understanding of asynchronous systems and event-driven architecture patterns, and the Kafka wire protocol and ecosystem (MirrorMaker, Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect, schema registry)
- Working knowledge of Kafka broker semantics: partitions, replication, and consumer groups
- Familiarity with the Kafka security surface: OAuth, PLAIN, SCRAM, SASL, SSL, and Kafka ACLs
