I need an experienced integration engineer who can move comfortably across IBM WebSphere, Apache Kafka and Jenkins. All three platforms are in active use, so depth in each is essential. On the WebSphere side you’ll both develop and administer IIB/ACE message flows. Expect to create new integrations, refactor existing ones, tune performance and handle deployment automation. MQ and DataPower are equally important in our landscape, so you should be able to configure queues, security, high-availability and the corresponding policies on DataPower. Kafka underpins a real-time event pipeline. I’m looking for someone who understands topic design, partitioning, replication, monitoring and day-to-day administration. Experience writing and optimising producers/consumers is a plus. Jenkins drives our CI/CD and also triggers scheduled jobs that behave like classic cron tasks. You’ll maintain the pipelines, update Groovy scripts and ensure smooth hand-offs between Kafka jobs and WebSphere deployments. Deliverables • Fully working IIB/ACE message flows deployed on WebSphere, with corresponding MQ/DataPower configurations • A stable, well-monitored Kafka cluster with documented scripts for topic management and consumer group monitoring • Jenkins pipelines and scripted jobs that can be executed on-demand or on schedule, with clear rollback steps • Operational documentation that lets my in-house team pick up day-to-day support If you’ve successfully combined these technologies before and can prove it with past work or demos, let’s talk and get started right away.

Hi there, I am an Enterprise Integration Engineer with deep expertise combining IBM WebSphere (IIB/ACE, MQ, DataPower), Apache Kafka, and Jenkins. Your stack requires someone who understands both heavy enterprise service buses and modern event-driven architectures. Here is how I will tackle your deliverables: WebSphere & DataPower I will develop optimized IIB/ACE message flows (using clean ESQL/Java) and configure highly-available MQ queues. For DataPower, I will implement robust security policies and routing to bridge your environments securely. Kafka Event Pipeline I will audit and align your Kafka cluster architecture (topic design, replication factors, and partitioning for high throughput). I will provide tailored scripts for daily topic management and optimize your producer/consumer clients to interface cleanly with WebSphere. Jenkins CI/CD I will refactor your delivery pipelines using advanced Groovy scripting, ensuring seamless, automated deployments of IIB/ACE artifacts and scheduled Kafka jobs with strict automated rollback mechanisms. Handover & Runbooks I will provide exhaustive operational documentation and runbooks so your in-house team can effortlessly manage day-to-day operations. I have strong experience bridging IBM enterprise stacks with Apache ecosystems. Let’s connect to discuss your current pipeline architecture so we can get started immediately.
