At Devx Staffing, we've spent years building deep expertise in Apache Kafka recruiting. We understand the nuances between data engineers who design producer/consumer pipelines and manage schema evolution, stream engineers who implement business logic with Kafka Streams/KSQL and handle event-time processing, platform/SRE engineers who tune brokers, partitions and replication for throughput and resilience, and integration specialists who build and operate Kafka Connectors and schema registry workflows. That allows us to screen for hands‑on skills in partitioning strategies, offset management, exactly‑once and idempotent delivery patterns, security and ACLs, monitoring and capacity planning, and match companies with talent that fits their technical needs and operational constraints.
