Hands-on experience with the Kafka ecosystem, including tools like Kafka Connect, Schema Registry, and monitoring platforms, as well as proficiency in languages such as Java or Python, is highly desirable. Strong problem-solving abilities, collaborative skills, and effective communication are important soft skills in this role. These capabilities are essential for designing reliable, scalable streaming solutions that support business-critical operations in dynamic technical environments.
