Role Overview

What Your Apache Kafka & Streaming Developer Will Do

Data engineering on Apache Kafka & Streaming requires a different mindset than application development.

Their toolkit includes Debezium, Apache Flink, Prometheus and other ecosystem tools your team uses daily. Many hold certifications including Confluent Certified Developer for Apache Kafka, Confluent Certified Administrator. Every candidate passes our 5-stage vetting — technical assessment, platform-specific exercises, communication evaluation, background verification, and recorded video introduction — so you interview only proven developers.

When to Hire a Apache Kafka & Streaming Developer

Hire a dedicated Apache Kafka & Streaming Developer when you have an existing Apache Kafka & Streaming environment that needs custom development — new features, integrations, platform extensions, or migration work. This role is ideal when your internal team lacks Apache Kafka & Streaming-specific skills, when project timelines are tight, or when you need to scale engineering capacity without the overhead of local hiring. Most clients start with one Developer to prove the model, then expand to 2-5 within 3-6 months.
