Troubleshoot broker outages, consumer lag, under-replicated partitions, offline partitions, disk pressure, connector failures, authentication problems and performance degradation. Lead production incident response, root-cause analysis and permanent corrective actions. Support high availability, disaster recovery, backup and platform resilience requirements. Support CDC integrations involving Oracle GoldenGate and Debezium. Automate platform configuration and deployment using GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Helm and scripting. Create operational runbooks, platform standards, monitoring dashboards and reusable onboarding processes. Participate in production support, maintenance windows, platform upgrades and on-call activities as required. Requirements Strong hands-on experience administering Apache Kafka and Confluent Platform in production. Demonstrated experience installing, configuring, upgrading and troubleshooting Kafka clusters. Strong knowledge of brokers, topics, partitions, replication, ISR, consumer groups, offsets, retention and cluster balancing. Hands-on administration of Kafka Connect and Confluent Schema Registry. Experience operating Kafka or Confluent components on OpenShift or Kubernetes. Strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills. Experience configuring Kafka security using TLS, SASL, ACLs and RBAC. Experience monitoring Kafka using Prometheus, Grafana, Dynatrace and/or Splunk. Experience with GitHub, CI/CD automation and ArgoCD or comparable GitOps tooling. Ability to clearly explain production incidents, platform upgrades and administrative tasks personally performed.

Experience supporting Snowflake, Iceberg, AWS or Azure integrations. Familiarity with Java and Spring Boot Kafka applications for troubleshooting purposes. Experience supporting enterprise utility or other highly regulated production environments. Important Screening Requirement: Candidates must have direct Kafka platform-administration experience.
