Frequently asked questions
- Are these Kafka jobs fully remote?
- Yes — every role in this list is tagged remote at the source. We also track stated timezone requirements, so you can see which roles are region-restricted before you apply.
- Do all of these roles use Kafka day-to-day?
- Every listing here names Kafka in its required or preferred stack, as extracted from the original posting. For some roles it's the core technology; for others it's one part of a broader stack — each listing shows the full stack so you can tell which before you apply.
- Where do these listings come from?
- Straight from each employer's own careers page (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and direct boards) — no recruiters, no reposts, and duplicates are removed automatically.
- How often is this list updated?
- Continuously. SleepHire re-scans 240+ company career pages every 30 minutes, so new openings appear within the hour and filled or expired roles drop off.
- What do remote Kafka roles pay?
- The median is $150K gross (pre-tax) across 55 live remote listings that use Kafka and disclose pay. The full breakdown by role and seniority is in our salary report.
- Do I need an account to view these jobs?
- The listings on this page are free to browse, and a free account gets you a daily digest of your top matches. Opening a full posting — the complete description, the direct apply link, and your AI match analysis — needs a SleepHire pass: €9 for 90 days of full access.
