Job Summary

The Red Hat Middleware Engineering team is looking for a Principal Software Engineer. In this role, you will develop critical features of open-source software. You’ll work on Debezium, an open-source project building a distributed platform for capturing changes from databases with very low latency. Written in Java and working heavily with DBMS-specific features to create connectors that capture the changes and write them as events to Kafka in the same order they appear in the databases, allowing other applications and services to consume and react to these changes, Debezium is designed never to miss changes, even when things go wrong. As a Principal Software Engineer, you will gain experience with cloud services, distributed systems, stream processing, various databases, monitoring and managing distributed systems, and working with open source. You will also be involved in challenging discussions to define and set the priorities of the Debezium Roadmap. Finally, you’ll play an important role in the open-source community surrounding Debezium. Remote candidates will be considered.
