RabbitMQ Administrator - Prog Leasing

Job Title: RabbitMQ Cluster Migration Engineer

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced RabbitMQ Cluster Migration Engineer to lead and execute the seamless migration of our existing RabbitMQ infrastructure to a AWS - new high-availability cluster environment. 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 internals: queues, 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.
