Provide expert-level troubleshooting for MQ-related issues, including connectivity problems, message delivery failures, security errors, and performance degradation. Act as a primary point of contact for application teams regarding MQ connectivity and messaging issues. Respond to incidents, diagnose root causes, and implement corrective actions, participating in on-call rotation if applicable. Monitor resource utilization (CPU, memory, disk space, message depths) and forecast future capacity needs. Design and implement scalable MQ solutions, including clustering and distributed queuing, to meet growing business demands. Develop, implement, test, and maintain disaster recovery (DR) procedures for the MQ environment. Configure and manage high availability (HA) solutions, potentially including multi-instance Queue Managers or clustering. Participate in regular DR testing exercises. Implement and manage MQ security configurations, including TLS/SSL for channels, Channel Authentication Rules (CHLAUTH), and Object Authority Manager (OAM).

Stay informed about IBM MQ product roadmaps, new features, and end-of-support timelines. Participate in the planning, design, and execution of migrating IBM MQ workloads to AWS. Contribute to initiatives involving the deployment and management of IBM MQ in containerized environments (eg, Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift), utilizing MQ container images and operators. Actively participate in infrastructure modernization projects related to messaging. Develop and maintain scripts (eg, Shell, Python, Perl) or utilize automation tools (eg, Ansible) to streamline routine MQ administration tasks, deployments, and configuration management. Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for MQ architecture, configurations, standards, and operational procedures. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, OR equivalent practical experience. 10+ years of hands-on experience administering IBM MQ in a complex enterprise environment. Strong understanding of core IBM MQ concepts (Queue Managers, Queues, Channels, Clustering, Publish/Subscribe, Security). Proficiency in administering IBM MQ on [Specify primary OS, eg, Linux, Windows]. Proven troubleshooting skills in diagnosing and resolving complex MQ issues. Experience with Scripting languages (eg, Bash, Python, Perl) for automation. Understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, Firewalls, load balancers) as they relate to MQ.
