Manage Kafka clusters, brokers, topics, partitions, replication factors, retention policies, consumer groups, and access controls. Perform Kafka platform administration, including cluster health monitoring, capacity planning, performance tuning, and availability management. Deploy, configure, and support Kafka components and services across multiple environments, including development, testing, staging, and production. Develop, configure, deploy, and maintain Kafka connectors using Kafka Connect and related integration frameworks.

Troubleshoot producer and consumer issues, consumer lag, broker failures, connector task failures, rebalancing, and message delivery problems. Configure and maintain monitoring, alerting, and dashboards using Datadog to track Kafka cluster health, throughput, latency, consumer lag, connector status, and infrastructure utilization. Develop and maintain Datadog monitors, alerts, dashboards, and incident notifications to proactively identify platform and integration issues. Use GitHub for source control, connector configuration management, code reviews, versioning, and collaboration across development and operations teams. Support CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment processes for Kafka configurations, connector changes, and application releases. Provide L2/L3 production support, participate in incident management, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and implement preventive measures. Maintain operational documentation, runbooks, standard operating procedures, and platform administration guidelines. Collaborate with application developers, infrastructure teams, architects, security teams, and business stakeholders to deliver secure and reliable event-driven integration solutions. Follow best practices for Kafka security, platform governance, high availability, disaster recovery, and operational excellence.
