Original job description

Our client is seeking a Kafka Platform Admin/Kafka Developer to join their team. As a Kafka Platform Admin/Kafka Developer, you will be part of the Platform Engineering & Integration Operations team supporting event-driven streaming and integration services. The ideal candidate will have a strong sense of ownership, a practical troubleshooting mindset, and the drive to keep mission-critical data pipelines reliable, scalable, and highly available.

Role: Kafka Platform Administrator / Kafka Developer

Location: Calgary, AB

Work Model: 5 days in office

Duration: December 2026 – December 2027

What's the Job?

Administer, configure, and maintain Kafka platforms across on-premises, cloud, and Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) environments.
Manage Kafka clusters, brokers, topics, partitions, replication factors, retention policies, consumer groups, and access controls to support secure and dependable streaming.
Deploy, configure, and support Kafka components and services across development, testing, staging, and production environments.
Develop, configure, deploy, and maintain Kafka connectors using Kafka Connect, including creating new source/sink connectors and enhancing existing ones.
Monitor, troubleshoot, and provide L2/L3 production support - performing root cause analysis (RCA), implementing fixes, and driving preventive improvements.

What's Needed?

Minimum 8 years of experience in middleware, messaging platforms, streaming technologies, platform administration, or integration development, with strong hands-on Kafka experience.
Strong expertise in Apache Kafka administration and development across on-premises and cloud environments.
Hands-on experience with Kafka on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA), including deployment, configuration, operations, and troubleshooting.
Practical experience with Kafka Connect, including connector deployment, configuration, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management.
Experience with Datadog monitoring (dashboards, monitors, alerting, and incident troubleshooting) and strong operational documentation/runbook practices.

What's in it for me?

Work on high-impact event-driven integration solutions where reliability, scalability, and availability matter.
Own platform administration and connector lifecycle responsibilities across the full operational lifecycle - from deployment to production support.
Use modern monitoring and alerting practices with Datadog to proactively identify and resolve Kafka and connector issues.
Collaborate closely with developers, infrastructure teams, architects, security teams, and stakeholders to deliver secure streaming integrations.
Contribute to continuous improvement through RCA, preventive measures, and well-maintained operational documentation.
