A Kafka developer designs and builds applications that use Apache Kafka for data processing and distribution. They are responsible for developing flows and message configuration. Kafka developers must also conduct issue analysis on the platform to identify any type of discrepancies and errors. Then, they must troubleshoot the application if necessary.
Kafka developers are part of the Master Data Management (MDM) plan, so they must assist in those operations to preserve data integrity. Other responsibilities include maintaining databases, running unit tests, and developing technical requirements/specifications.
