Principal Messaging Platform Engineer

Berkshire Hathaway companies power some of the most critical systems in North America—spanning transportation, energy, logistics, manufacturing, retail, and infrastructure. At BRK Tech, we partner across these businesses to design, build, and operate modern technology platforms that run at massive scale and support long‑term, real‑world impact. We are hiring for remote (US only) Principal Messaging Platform Engineers for a Berkshire Portfolio company to work in our Infra and Ops org. Here you would build a greenfield, open‑source enterprise messaging and integration platform that is mission‑critical to energy generation, transmission, and power grid operations. This messaging layer is the glue that ties together all services and applications—connecting databases, internal systems, field operations, and external vendors via real‑time and batch integrations. The platform cannot operate without this role. You will design, build, scale, and operate the enterprise messaging bus, supporting Kafka across multiple data centers, consolidating and uplifting messaging capabilities across 11 data centers, and enabling systems that have never previously communicated to work together reliably.
