  • Monitoring & Troubleshooting

  • Implement robust monitoring, alerting, and observability frameworks using Splunk, Datadog, Prometheus, or similar tools for both Confluent Cloud and on-prem clusters.
  • Proactively troubleshoot Kafka clusters, diagnose performance issues, and conduct root cause analysis for complex, distributed environments.
  • Performance & Capacity Planning

  • Conduct capacity planning and performance tuning to optimize Kafka clusters; ensure they can handle current and future data volumes.
  • Define and maintain SLA / SLI metrics to track latency, throughput, and downtime.
  • Security & Compliance

  • Ensure secure configuration of all Kafka and Confluent components, implementing best practices for authentication (Kerberos / OAuth), encryption (SSL / TLS), and access control (RBAC).
  • Collaborate with InfoSec teams to stay compliant with internal and industry regulations (GDPR, SOC, PCI, etc.).
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work with DevOps, Cloud, Application, and Infrastructure teams to define and align business requirements for data streaming solutions.
  • Provide guidance and support during platform upgrades, expansions, and new feature rollouts.
  • Continuous Improvement

  • Stay current with Confluent Platform releases and Kafka community innovations.
  • Drive continuous improvement by recommending new tools, frameworks, and processes to enhance reliability and developer productivity.
  • Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with Apache Kafka; at least 2+ years focused on Confluent Cloud and Confluent Platform.
  • Deep knowledge of Kafka Connect, Schema Registry, Control Center, ksqlDB, and other Confluent components.
  • Experience architecting and managing hybrid Kafka solutions in on-prem and cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Advanced understanding of event-driven architecture and the real-time data integration ecosystem.
  • Strong programming / scripting skills (Java, Python, Scala) for Kafka-based application development and automation tasks.
  • DevOps & Automation

  • Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) for Kafka resource management in both cloud and on-prem.
  • Familiarity with Chef, Ansible, or similar configuration management tools to automate deployments.
  • Skilled in CI / CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) and version control (Git) for distributed systems.
  • Monitoring & Reliability

  • Proven ability to monitor and troubleshoot large-scale, distributed Kafka environments using Splunk, Datadog, Prometheus, or similar tools.
  • Experience with performance tuning and incident management to minimize downtime and data loss.
  • Security & Compliance

  • Expertise in securing Kafka deployments, including Kerberos and SSL configurations.
  • Understanding of IAM best practices, network security, encryption, and governance in hybrid environments.
  • Leadership & Collaboration

  • Demonstrated experience leading platform upgrades, migrations, and architecture reviews.
  • Excellent communication skills, with ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences (developers, architects, executives).
  • Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teamsproduct owners, system engineers, security, and business stakeholders.
  • Education & Preferred Experience

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Experience with container orchestration (Docker / Kubernetes) is a plus.
  • Compensation Range : The salary range for this position is between $130,000 - $160,000 USD. Broadridge considers various factors when evaluating a candidate's final salary including, but not limited to, relevant experience, skills, and education.
