This role requires deep expertise in RabbitMQ, clustering, messaging architecture, and production-grade migrations with minimal downtime. Key Responsibilities: Design and implement a migration plan to move existing RabbitMQ instances to a new clustered setup. Evaluate the current messaging architecture, performance bottlenecks, and limitations. Configure, deploy, and test RabbitMQ clusters (with or without federation/mirroring as needed). Ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery configurations. Collaborate with development, DevOps, and SRE teams to ensure smooth cutover and rollback plans. Automate setup and configuration using tools such as Ansible, Terraform, or Helm (for Kubernetes). Monitor message queues during migration to ensure message durability and delivery guarantees. Document all aspects of the architecture, configurations, and migration process. Required Qualifications: Strong experience with RabbitMQ, especially in clustered and high-availability environments. Deep understanding of RabbitMQ internalsqueues, exchanges, bindings, vhosts, federation, mirrored queues. Experience with RabbitMQ management plugins, monitoring, and performance tuning. Proficiency with scripting languages (e.g., Bash, Python) for automation. Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Helm). Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes). Strong understanding of messaging patterns and guarantees (at-least-once, exactly-once, etc.). Experience with zero-downtime migration and rollback strategies. Preferred Qualifications: Experience migrating RabbitMQ clusters in production environments. Working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and managed RabbitMQ services. Understanding of security in messaging systems (TLS, authentication, access control). Familiarity with alternative messaging systems (Kafka, NATS, ActiveMQ) is a plus.
