Questions about these roles
How many hybrid lead and principal Kafka jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 11 live vacancies across 10 employers. The crawler revisits employer careers pages continuously and roles disappear from this page as soon as they come down, so the count reflects what is genuinely open today.
Are these contract or permanent roles?
Every role here that states a basis is permanent. Contract vacancies are listed separately.
Which employers are hiring?
The most active right now are Certifieddevs, Mwb Me, Energyvue, Novastela and Mvrit. Every vacancy links straight to that employer's own careers page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company, and there is no middleman between you and the application.
What other skills do these roles ask for?
Most often AWS, React, Azure, PostgreSQL and Java. That is counted from the live adverts on this page rather than a fixed list, so it tracks what employers are asking for this month.
Are there entry-level or graduate Kafka developer jobs in the UK?
Not right now — every live advert here signals mid-level experience or above. Graduate intakes are seasonal, so this is worth checking again rather than reading as a permanent state of the market.
