Preferred * Hands-on experience implementing Azure Service Bus Geo-Replication or comparable multi-region messaging resiliency. * Awareness of platform-level replication constraints (e.g., payload-size limits) and how to design around them. * Experience with legacy enterprise messaging platforms (e.g., IBM MQ, TIBCO). * Experience with Dynatrace, Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, or comparable observability tooling. ## Description We are seeking an experienced Senior Azure Service Bus / Messaging Platform Engineer with a strong background in enterprise messaging, cloud middleware, and infrastructure automation to join a small, high-impact middleware team supporting the client. The successful candidate will work closely with application, architecture, security, and operations teams to implement and harden Azure Service Bus Geo-Replication for high availability and disaster recovery, build out Terraform infrastructure-as-code coverage, and improve Azure cost management practices. This role is ideal for a proactive, hands-on engineer who is comfortable owning platform-specific messaging resiliency work independently while also contributing to the technical leadership and mentoring of a small team. This is an incremental addition to the team, not a backfill, and the person in this seat will be expected to both execute independently and help elevate the group's technical depth.
