Kafka & event-driven platforms Provide technical leadership on Kafka platform usage and enablement (topic design patterns, partitioning strategy, resiliency, schema governance, security, monitoring and capacity planning). Partner with architects and service teams to adopt event-driven patterns safely and consistently. Coach teams on microservices design, domain boundaries, API/event contracts, resiliency patterns, and operational readiness. Improve developer experience through templates, golden paths, self-service capabilities, and clear documentation. Embed security-by-design and operational excellence: hardening, vulnerability management, identity and access controls, data protection, and auditability. Work as a bridge between Product, Architecture and Engineering-getting alignment without boiling the ocean. Communicate complex technical topics clearly to mixed audiences; write crisp design docs and influence decision forums. Key relationships: Reports to: Head of Private Cloud Works closely with: Product Owners, CTO Architects, Platform/Infrastructure Engineering, Application Engineering teams, Cyber Security, Operations/SRE, and relevant governance forums.

Strong background in private cloud/platform engineering, including solid depth in at least two of: Virtualisation technologies (eg, VMware or equivalent), Containers & Kubernetes (cluster operations, upgrades, networking, multi-tenancy, policy), Kafka/event streaming platforms (architecture, operations, governance) Strong engineering fundamentals: distributed systems, networking concepts, performance tuning, fault tolerance and capacity planning. Automation mindset with experience in Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD practices (tooling can vary). Strong operational and risk awareness: security controls, change management, and production readiness practices.
