  • Deep expertise in Apache Kafka, including Raft/Zookeeper/KRaft internals, performance tuning, and production cluster management at scale.
  • Strong hands-on experience with message queuing systems such as RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, and understanding of AMQP protocols and queue semantics.
  • Proficiency in Java, Go, or similar object-oriented languages; ability to produce high-quality, performant code.
  • Experience operating at scale, including production debugging, performance tuning, capacity modeling, and regional failover strategies.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership, influencing architecture across multiple teams, and mentoring senior engineers with excellent communication skills.
