About the role
- Lead the discovery, analysis, and reduction of legacy, fragmented MQ instances and topologies.
- Define the blueprint for a "Messaging-as-a-Platform" model with reusable templates, DR patterns, and operational controls.
- Establish platform SLAs and lifecycle management strategy (patching, versioning, deprecation).
- Define and drive the MQ architecture roadmap across IBM MQ, and future platforms.
- Architect scalable, secure MQ deployments across hybrid cloud (on-prem & AWS).
- Define and implement HA/DR strategies (RDQM, multi-instance, clustering) aligned with application RTO/RPO needs.
- Serve as middleware integration lead for cloud-native platforms and event-driven designs.
- Partner with infrastructure and app teams to migrate legacy messaging workloads to scalable and observable platforms.
- Develop onboarding frameworks to reduce friction for app teams: reusable IaC (Terraform/Ansible), pipeline integration, self-service config portals.
- Eliminate "manual MQ" by building orchestration across scripts, triggers, queue creation, monitoring, and alerting.
- Work closely with our Intelligent Automation team to embed MQ into our runbook automation vision and other similar initiatives.
- Develop MQ governance models—naming conventions, access controls, TLS/mutual auth, and compliance enforcement.
- Define audit logging, configuration baselines, and change control workflows for middleware components.
- Enforce governance: queue naming conventions, channel management, auth policies, security standards.
- Drive observability: define MQ metrics that matter (depth, latency, idle, retry), integrate with Datadog or internal tools.
- Mentor junior MQ engineers and serve as the go-to technical expert across middleware.
- Be the “middleware evangelist” with app dev, infra, cloud, and operations teams—translate architecture into adoption.
- Represent middleware in transformation initiatives, incident reviews, and technology strategy planning.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in enterprise middleware, with deep expertise in IBM MQ architecture and administration.
- Strong knowledge of MQ HA/DR topologies (e.g., RDQM, Multi-instance QM, shared cluster patterns).
- Experience with cloud deployments of messaging platforms (IBM MQ on AWS, hybrid connectivity).
- Familiarity with MQ integration into DevOps pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code.
- Understanding of NFRs like performance, right sizing, and security and encryption protocols in MQ (TLS, channel exits, auth records).
- Working knowledge of RabbitMQ, SonicMQ, or Confluent Kafka is a plus.
- Hands-on experience with observability tooling (Datadog, similar others).
- Exposure to regulatory environments (FINRA, SEC, etc.) and audit-readiness practices.
