As a Confluent Kafka Platform Architect, you will design and govern the enterprise event streaming platform that powers real-time data movement across the company.

- Platform Governance & Standards
- Implement naming conventions, topic lifecycle policies, and schema evolution standards.
- Define RBAC and security guardrails leveraging Confluent Control Center, ACLs, and encryption (TLS, SASL).
- Ensure compliance with internal governance and regulatory frameworks.
- Performance & Observability
- Set up monitoring and alerting for throughput, latency, consumer lag, and broker health using Confluent Control Center and integrated observability tools.
- Optimize performance for large-scale streaming workloads; tune configurations for reliability and cost efficiency.
- Integration & Enablement
- Architect connectors for core banking systems, cloud data lakes, and analytics platforms.
- Provide reusable patterns and onboarding guides for application teams; enable self-service provisioning where appropriate.
- Collaborate with InfoSec, Cloud Engineering, and Data Governance teams to align platform capabilities with enterprise standards.
- Innovation & Roadmap
- Evaluate emerging Confluent features and event streaming trends; recommend adoption strategies.
- Drive automation for provisioning, scaling, and patching using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible).
Experience Required
Qualifications
- Must-Have
- 8+ years in enterprise data architecture or platform engineering roles.
- 4+ years hands-on experience with Apache Kafka and Confluent Platform in production environments.
- Strong knowledge of event-driven architecture, schema management (Avro/Protobuf), and stream processing.
- Expertise in security (TLS, SASL, RBAC), performance tuning, and observability for Kafka clusters.
- Familiarity with cloud-native deployments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and Kubernetes-based Kafka operations.
- Preferred
- Experience with hybrid or multi-cloud Kafka deployments.
- Knowledge of financial services compliance and governance requirements.
