• Design and implement IBM MQ services in Open Shift and Azure
• Evaluate complementary messaging technologies
• Develop automation using APIs, CI/CD and infrastructure as code
• Troubleshoot production issues and participate in on‑call rotation

• Enterprise messaging platform administration or engineering experience
• Production experience in Open Shift or public cloud environments
• Automation or software engineering skills in Java and Spring Boot
• Strong Linux, container, networking and security fundamentals
• Experience with CI/CD, observability and incident management
• Knowledge of Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform or cloud‑native messaging
