Our client is seeking a Sr Software Engineer to support, enhance, and modernize its enterprise Kafka streaming platforms. This role combines technical expertise with hands-on engineering and operational leadership to ensure available, scalable, and observable event streaming services. The Lead Software Engineer will maintain platform stability, guide Kafka adoption patterns, and support application teams through design, onboarding, and production readiness. The role requires urgency, operational rigor, and the ability to influence best practices across the organization. Preference exists for candidates with Kafka on OpenShift or Kubernetes, experience migrating from legacy VM-based Kafka, and future-state Confluent Kafka exposure. The role supports the Kafka platform used by application teams. Experience supporting Flink platforms is a plus.
Due to client requirements, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
