We are currently tracking 46 live vacancies matching senior Kafka jobs in the UK, advertised by 33 different employers. 12 of them were first seen in the last seven days.

Too few of these roles publish a salary for a reliable benchmark. Where a figure is quoted it appears on the listing, and contract day rates are annualised so they can be compared against permanent salaries.
On working pattern, 46% are fully remote and 35% are hybrid. By seniority, 100% at senior level. Filter by any of these on the left.
Employers hiring for Kafka in this slice most often ask for it alongside AWS, SQL, Python, Java, Kubernetes and PostgreSQL. That co-occurrence is counted from the live listings on this page, not from a fixed list, so it moves with the market.

Questions about these roles
How many senior Kafka jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 46 live vacancies across 33 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.
Can these roles be done remotely?
46% are advertised as fully remote and 35% as hybrid. The rest are on-site or do not say — where an employer is silent we leave it blank rather than guessing.
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, Jagaad, Mvrit, Payscale and Soliduslabs. 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, SQL, Python, Java and Kubernetes. 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.
Can you work from home as a Kafka developer in the UK?
37 of the 46 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 21 fully remote and 16 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
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.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Senior DevOps Engineer, Senior Data Engineer, Senior System Administrator – Linux, Senior Product Designer and Senior .NET Developer. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
