This profile is for the engineer(s) responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining aHiveMQ deployment in production — covering broker configuration and clustering, securitysetup, protocol/data integrations, and ongoing operations.Key ResponsibilitiesDesign and configure the HiveMQ broker/cluster topology (sizing, high availability, failover) for the target environment (on-prem, cloud, or hybrid).
Implement authentication and authorization (TLS/mTLS, client certificates, JWT/OAuth, LDAP) using the HiveMQ Enterprise Security Extension or equivalent.Build and maintain topic structures, Data Hub policies/transformations, and any custom extensions needed for the use case.Stand up and operate integrations (Kafka/Confluent, cloud pub/sub, databases, MES/ERP/SCADA where relevant).
Deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot the platform in production (logging, metrics, alerting, capacity planning).
Own day-2 operations: upgrades, backups, incident response, and performance tuning.Core Technical SkillsSolid working knowledge of MQTT 3.1.1 and MQTT 5: QoS levels, session handling, retained messages, shared subscriptions, last will, and topic design best practices.Understanding of publish/subscribe architecture and event-driven design patterns.HiveMQ Platform DepthBroker and cluster architecture, replication, and failover behavior.Enterprise Security Extension (ESE): realms, authentication/authorization managers, X.509/JWT/LDAP preprocessors, RBAC.Data Hub: data validation, policies, and transformations for governing message streams.Bridge and Kafka extensions for connecting HiveMQ to downstream systems.Edge protocol adapters if the deployment involves OT/industrial data sources (OPC UA, Modbus, Sparkplug B).
HiveMQ Control Center for monitoring, client management, and diagnostics.Comfort reading/writing or extending a HiveMQ extension when a custom integration or business rule is required.Deployment & InfrastructureContainerization and orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes (StatefulSets, Helm, the HiveMQOperator).
Infrastructure as Code:



Terraform and/or Ansible for repeatable environment provisioning.Monitoring/observability stack: Prometheus, Grafana, log aggregation.CI/CD pipelines for config-as-code and controlled rollout of changes.Programming & ScriptingComfortable with REST APIs for automating broker configuration and operational tasks.SecurityTLS/mTLS certificate management and rotation.General familiarity with network security concepts: firewalls, segmentation, VPNs/PrivateLink.Familiarity with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP) if the deployment is cloud-hosted or hybrid.Core networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, TLS, WebSockets, load balancing, private connectivity options.Experience integrating streaming data with downstream systems (Kafka/Confluent, databases, data lakes, or analytics platforms).
For industrial/IoT use cases: familiarity with Unified Namespace concepts, ISA-95, and Sparkplug B is a strong plus.Recommended Experience Level3+ years in software/platform engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure roles, ideally with prior exposure to messaging systems (MQTT, Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar).
Direct experience standing up and operating a clustered, production-grade middleware or messaging platform is the strongest predictor of success.For OT/industrial deployments, prior exposure to plant-floor systems (PLCs, SCADA, historians) is valuable but not mandatory if paired with a strong IT/platform background.Recommended EnablementHiveMQ University courses and certifications (MQTT Essentials, HiveMQ platform fundamentals, security/ESE, Data Hub) to close any product-specific gaps quickly.Hands-on sandbox time with HiveMQ Cloud or a self-managed cluster before the engagement goes live.Links HiveMQ University, HiveMQ User Guide, HiveMQ Platform (access to both HiveMQ Cloud and HiveMQ software)Nice-to-Have / Bonus SkillsMulti-cloud or hybrid deployment experience.Prior work on a partner-led HiveMQ implementation or similar MQTT broker (EMQX, Mosquitto) migration.Experience with regulated environments (GxP, ISO *****/SOC 2 adjacent controls) if applicable to the customer's industry.
