Infopark in Kochi's Kakkanad area has an Associate Kafka Developer opening, full time, on site, with a data team building event-driven systems. One year of experience is the expectation, enough to have already worked with Kafka basics in some real capacity.
The work covers implementing new features based on project requirements, debugging and resolving technical issues, documenting work for future reference, and participating in code reviews. Kafka's distributed nature means an associate developer here learns to think about message ordering and delivery guarantees, concepts that don't come up in typical request-response systems.
A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with proficiency in the relevant languages, tools, and frameworks for this role.
Any personal project involving Kafka or another message queue, basic familiarity with distributed systems concepts, and genuine curiosity about message ordering guarantees rather than assuming messages always arrive in sequence.
Infopark is one of Kochi's most established tech hubs, and this team's event-driven systems give an associate developer real exposure to distributed systems concepts early in their career. Naukri Mitra has listed a few software roles from this employer, and associate developers who've joined recently describe learning about message ordering guarantees as the concept that took longest to fully internalize, since it behaves differently from anything in typical request-response programming.
Interviews include a coding exercise and a discussion of any Kafka or messaging project from your background. Candidates who show genuine curiosity about distributed systems concepts tend to interview well.
This role is based at Infopark, Kakkanad, Kochi, pin code 682042, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹64,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within five weeks.
