**CommIT**
### Description
We are seeking a ****Kafka Integration Engineer (80 hours work per month)**** to lead and execute data integration initiatives between our customers’ Kafka streams and internal APIs. This is a hands-on engineering role that requires a strong understanding of real-time data processing, microservices, and cloud-native technologies. You will collaborate closely with customer engineering teams and internal DevOps to build scalable, efficient, and secure data pipelines.
****Key Responsibilities:****
- Design, build, and maintain ****Kafka consumers**** to ingest and batch-process customer event data.
- Implement ****message parsing and transformation**** logic (JSON, Avro, Protobuf) to align with Captain Up’s event structure.
- Develop and configure ****provider-specific customer integrations****.
- Manage secure credentials using ****AWS Secrets Manager**** and handle per-application configurations.
- Deploy and monitor services in ****Kubernetes**** using ****Helm****.
- Work with DevOps to ****troubleshoot deployments****, monitor performance, and ensure system reliability.
### Requirements
- Proficient in ****Node.js**** and ****TypeScript****.
- Strong experience with ****Apache Kafka**** and libraries like ****KafkaJS**** or similar.
- Hands-on experience designing and consuming ****REST/HTTP APIs**** for service-to-service integration.
- Solid working knowledge of ****databases**** (SQL and/or NoSQL) — schema design, queries, and indexing for high-throughput pipelines.
- Familiarity with ****message schemas**** (Avro, Protobuf) and relevant parsing libraries.
- Hands-on experience with ****Kubernetes****, ****Helm****, and ****AWS services****, especially Secrets Manager.
- Hands-on experience using ****AI coding assistants (Claude / Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.)**** to accelerate development, debug, and write production-grade code.
- ****CRITICAL — Customer-facing role:**** This engineer will work directly with our customers’ engineering teams to design, build, troubleshoot, and own integrations end-to-end. Must be confident, professional, and proactive in customer communication (calls, Slack, email, screen-shares).
- ****Excellent spoken and written English**** (C1+ / fluent). Daily synchronous communication with international customers is required.
- Ability to write ****robust, testable, and maintainable code**** for high-throughput and low-latency data pipelines.
- Excellent ****debugging****, ****problem-solving****, and ****communication**** skills.
