We are establishing a new internal capability to own, engineer, and modernise the firm’s global IBM MQ estate. The IBM MQ Platform Engineer will be a key technical contributor responsible for the design, build, automation, and operational excellence of the IBM MQ platform as we transition away from outsourced management and toward a modern, self‑service, cloud‑ready IBMMQ messaging backbone.

You will work directly with architects, application teams, infrastructure, and global engineering functions to uplift the current IBM MQ estate, reduce operational burden, introduce best‑practice automation, and drive the roadmap for next‑generation messaging capabilities.
