## About the role

Design, deploy, and operate the production streaming platform on Kubernetes — cluster lifecycle, topics, partitioning and retention strategy, capacity planning, and upgrades. Build and maintain change-data-capture and connector pipelines moving data between operational databases, the streaming layer, and analytical stores.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years in software, data, or platform engineering, including deep hands-on ownership of a production event-streaming platform
- Expert-level Apache Kafka (or Confluent Platform/Cloud) — administration, tuning, troubleshooting, and capacity management at production scale
- Strong Kafka Connect and CDC experience — Debezium, JDBC, and custom connector or transformation development
- Proven schema-registry practice and compatibility management across many independent producers and consumers
- Solid programming ability in Java, Python, or Go — enough to build connectors, transformations, and platform tooling, not only configure them
- Strong SQL and relational database knowledge (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or equivalent), including replication and CDC mechanics
