The Challenge (Responsibilities)




Design and enable messaging and streaming solutions based on Apache Kafka and enterprise distributions like Confluent.
Act as the technical reference for the implementation of asynchronous and event-driven integration patterns.
Ensure that event flows between producers and consumers are reliable, scalable, and consistent with modern architecture practices.
Define the strategy for topics, partitions, keys, retention, delivery semantics, and data contracts to properly support business and engineering needs.
Contribute to the creation of internal frameworks or libraries to publish and consume events safely and consistently, avoiding duplicate implementations and reducing common errors (message loss, uncontrolled re-processing, incorrect ordering).
Collaborate closely with architects and data teams to implement schema governance, version compatibility, and good logical observability practices (e.g., lag and throughput metrics at the consumer group level).
Advise on resilience strategies (retries, DLQs, backpressure), idempotence, and design for replays in complex systems to ensure event-driven architecture is maintainable over time.
Enable the organization to use Kafka as an integration backbone,



minimizing technical risks and maximizing event traceability and consistency.
