  • Strong hands-on experience with Apache Kafka, including installation, configuration, administration, and application development.
  • Strong understanding of data streaming, event-driven architecture, distributed systems, and real-time data processing.
  • Hands-on experience with APIs, microservices, event streaming, databases (SQL and NoSQL), logging and monitoring, containers, serverless technologies, and DevOps practices.
  • Experience with CI/CD platforms and modern software delivery practices.
  • Experience with AWS or other major cloud platforms is preferred.
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes is a plus.
  • Background in real-time analytics and event-driven architectures is preferred.
