At Broadridge, we've built a culture where the highest goal is to empower others to accomplish more. If you’re passionate about developing your career, while helping others along the way, come join the Broadridge team.

We are seeking an experienced MQ Architect to lead the strategy, design, and evolution of our enterprise messaging and middleware ecosystem. This individual will play a pivotal role in rationalizing the existing MQ estate, enabling secure and scalable patterns for application onboarding, and delivering resilient messaging solutions that support our global infrastructure and business operations.

Responsibilities :

Strategic Platform Rationalization

Lead the discovery, analysis, and reduction of legacy, fragmented MQ instances and topologies.

Define the blueprint for a "Messaging-as-a-Platform" model with reusable templates, DR patterns, and operational controls.

Establish platform SLAs and lifecycle management strategy (patching, versioning, deprecation).

Define and drive the MQ architecture roadmap across IBM MQ, and future platforms.

Modernization & Cloud Enablement

Architect scalable, secure MQ deployments across hybrid cloud (on-prem & AWS).

Define and implement HA / DR strategies (RDQM, multi-instance, clustering) aligned with application RTO / RPO needs.

Serve as middleware integration lead for cloud-native platforms and event-driven designs.

Partner with infrastructure and app teams to migrate legacy messaging workloads to scalable and observable platforms.

Automation and Self-Service

Develop onboarding frameworks to reduce friction for app teams : reusable IaC (Terraform / Ansible), pipeline integration, self-service config portals.

Eliminate "manual MQ" by building orchestration across scripts, triggers, queue creation, monitoring, and alerting.

Work closely with our Intelligent Automation team to embed MQ into our runbook automation vision and other similar initiatives.

Governance & Security

Develop MQ governance models—naming conventions, access controls, TLS / mutual auth, and compliance enforcement.

Define audit logging, configuration baselines, and change control workflows for middleware components.

Governance & Observability

Enforce governance : queue naming conventions, channel management, auth policies, security standards.

Drive observability : define MQ metrics that matter (depth, latency, idle, retry), integrate with Datadog or internal tools.

Partner with Broadridge Security team to ensure compliance with encryption, access control, and audit policies.

Leadership & Enablement

Mentor junior MQ engineers and serve as the go-to technical expert across middleware.

Be the “middleware evangelist” with app dev, infra, cloud, and operations teams—translate architecture into adoption.

Represent middleware in transformation initiatives, incident reviews, and technology strategy planning.

Qualifications : Required :

8+ years of experience in enterprise middleware, with deep expertise in IBM MQ architecture and administration.

Strong knowledge of MQ HA / DR topologies (e.g., RDQM, Multi-instance QM, shared cluster patterns).

Experience with cloud deployments of messaging platforms (IBM MQ on AWS, hybrid connectivity).

Familiarity with MQ integration into DevOps pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code.

Understanding of NFRs like performance, right sizing, and security and encryption protocols in MQ (TLS, channel exits, auth records).

Preferred :

Working knowledge of RabbitMQ, SonicMQ, or Confluent Kafka is a plus.

Hands-on experience with observability tooling (Datadog, similar others).

Exposure to regulatory environments (FINRA, SEC, etc.) and audit-readiness practices.

Soft Skills :

Strategic mindset with a hands-on approach.

Strong verbal and written communication skills—able to translate technical concepts into business terms.

Leadership qualities to guide and influence without direct authority.

Compensation Range : The salary range for this position is between $140,000 - $150,000. Broadridge considers various factors when evaluating a candidate's final salary including, but not limited to, relevant experience, skills, and education.

Bonus Eligibility : Bonus Eligible
