We are seeking a Senior Kafka / Python Developer to support real-time data streaming initiatives. This role requires deep hands-on experience with the Confluent Kafka platform along with strong Python development skills to build microservices, connectors, and streaming workflows.







The ideal candidate is not just familiar with Kafka but has actively built and operated event-driven systems at scale.







Key Responsibilities:



​

  • Work with Kafka Streams / ksqlDB / Confluent components as needed

  • Design and implement event-driven architectures across distributed systems

  • Ensure reliability, scalability, and performance of streaming pipelines

  • Troubleshoot data flow, lag, and message processing issues

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams integrating Kafka into enterprise systems


Requirements



  • Strong hands-on experience with Confluent Kafka (not just open-source Kafka exposure)

  • Experience building producers, consumers, and streaming pipelines

  • Strong Python development experience (microservices, data processing)

  • Solid understanding of event-driven architecture

  • Experience working with real-time or near real-time data systems

  • Ability to debug and optimize Kafka performance (lag, throughput, partitions)



Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Have):







  • Experience with Kafka Streams, ksqlDB, or Schema Registry

  • Experience building or managing Kafka connectors (source/sink)

  • Exposure to cloud environments (Azure/AWS)

  • Experience integrating Kafka with APIs, data platforms, or microservices ecosystems

  • Familiarity with CI/CD and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes)

  • Familiar with Utilities companies.
