Senior Azure Messaging Platform Engineer Contract | Remote (Pacific hours required) About the Role We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Azure Messaging Platform Engineer to help build and operate mission-critical enterprise messaging infrastructure on Azure Service Bus. This role owns work end-to-end — from design through production deployment and documentation — with a primary focus on implementing geo-replication for high availability and disaster recovery across Azure regions.
This is a senior individual contributor role, not an architecture-only position. You’ll be doing the work yourself: writing Terraform, executing failovers, building runbooks, and troubleshooting production issues. What You’ll Do Design, build, and support enterprise messaging solutions on Azure Service Bus Premium (queues, topics, subscriptions, DLQs, retries, sessions, ordering, and more). Implement and operationalize Azure Service Bus Geo-Replication across regions to meet HA/DR targets.
Build and maintain DR runbooks; plan and execute failover/failback testing and document lessons learned. Write and maintain Terraform for messaging infrastructure, including reusable modules. Automate deployment, failover, and DR validation using Python, Power Shell, and/or Azure CLI. Monitor and troubleshoot messaging health using tools like Dynatrace or Azure Monitor. Provide senior-level (L3) production support and participate in incident response. What You’ll Need 7+ years of cloud, middleware, or enterprise messaging engineering experience.
Deep, hands-on experience with Azure Service Bus Premium in production. Experience implementing multi-region HA/DR or geo-replication for a messaging platform. Strong, non-negotiable Terraform experience for infrastructure deployment. Ability to clearly explain RTO/RPO and lead DR exercises and failover execution. Solid understanding of enterprise messaging patterns (DLQs, retries, dedup, sessions, ordering, idempotency). Nice to Have Python, Power Shell, or Azure CLI scripting for automation.
Experience with Dynatrace, Azure Monitor, or Log Analytics. Background in high-throughput, mission-critical environments (finance, banking, transportation). CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code experience. IBM MQ or TIBCO experience (helpful, not required). Logistics Term:
Contract through end of 2025, with strong likelihood of extension.
Location:
Remote, but must work Pacific time hours. West Coast preferred, not required. Pay Range: $60-70 per hour, depending upon experience. Health & Medical Benefits, 401K, Employee Assistance Program, and Sick Time applicable by state.
