The role will focus on designing and implementing a robust control plane responsible for provisioning, scaling, and securing multi-tenant Kafka clusters deployed on Kubernetes. The ideal candidate should possess strong expertise in distributed system architecture, Kubernetes internals, Kafka internals, security architecture, and platform reliability engineering. Roles required : System Design, Kubernetes Internals (Operators/CRDs), Security Architecture, and Reliability. This person needs to design how the "Cloud API" talks to the "Kubernetes Cluster" to spin up complex stateful workloads. Job Description: Lead Developer to architect our public cloud Kafka-as-a-Service (KaaS) platform. You will own the design of the control plane that manages the lifecycle (provisioning, scaling, security) of multi-tenant Kafka clusters on Kubernetes. Key Responsibilities: • Core Architecture: Design the KaaS Control Plane to handle cluster provisioning, resizing, and decommissioning.

Required Skills: • Languages: Expert proficiency in Java or Go (Go preferred for K8s Controllers/Operators). • Kubernetes Internals: Deep understanding of CRDs, Operators, StatefulSets, PVCs, and Resource Quotas. Kafka Internals: Not just using Kafka, but understanding the broker protocol, controller placement, partition reassignment, and dynamic configuration. •System Design: Experience designing multi-tenant, distributed systems with strict SLAs for throughput and latency.
