Azure Integration Service Consultant

Role: Azure Integration Services Consultant (with TIBCO- experience)
Location:  Waukegan, IL
Duration: Longterm
 
Note: To clarify the requirement for Azure experience, we need resources who have been involved in clean migration and modernization from TIBCO to Azure Integration Services
We are not looking for lift-and-shift migration experience. The ideal candidate should have hands-on expertise in analyzing existing TIBCO integrations and rebuilding them using Azure-native components such as Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Service Bus, API Management, and other AIS services to achieve a modernized integration architecture
 
Job Description:
Key Responsibilities
•    Serve as a dual-platform integration specialist across TIBCO BW 5.x (legacy) and Azure Integration Services (target state).
•    Design, develop, test, deploy, and support integration solutions on both platforms concurrently throughout the migration period.
•    Participate in migration assessment and discovery — cataloging existing TIBCO processes, dependencies, data contracts, and business criticality.
•    Translate legacy TIBCO integration logic (BW processes, adapters, EMS messaging patterns) into equivalent or improved Azure-native patterns.
•    Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps) for both TIBCO and Azure artifacts where applicable.
•    Support platform coexistence — ensuring TIBCO and Azure systems interoperate reliably during transition (dual-run, parallel processing, data reconciliation).
•    Document architecture, design decisions, runbooks, and migration artifacts for audit, knowledge transfer, and compliance.
•    Provide technical estimates, risk assessments, and effort sizing for migration waves.
•    Mentor junior developers and offshore team members on both TIBCO and Azure best practices.
•    Act as a trusted technical advisor/consultant to business and IT stakeholders on modernization decisions.

TIBCO Application Support & Development Responsibilities
•    Develop new and enhance existing TIBCO BW 5.x processes using Palettes (JMS, JDBC, File, SOAP, HTTP, ActiveMatrix adapters, etc.).
•    Administer and troubleshoot TIBCO EMS — queues, topics, bridges, fault tolerance, and performance tuning.
•    Design and maintain XML/XSD schemas and XSLT transformations for enterprise data exchange.
•    Build and maintain SOAP and REST web services exposed/consumed via TIBCO.
•    Perform code reviews, unit testing, and deployment of TIBCO EAR/application packages across environments (Dev/Test/UAT/Prod).
•    Maintain technical documentation for existing TIBCO interfaces to support migration assessment.
________________________________________
Azure Integration Services Responsibilities
•    Design and develop cloud-native integration solutions using Azure Logic Apps (Consumption & Standard), Azure Functions, and Azure Service Bus (queues/topics).
•    Build and manage APIs using Azure API Management (policies, versioning, throttling, security, developer portal).
•    Design solutions leveraging Azure Storage (Blob, Queue, Table) for staging, archiving, and asynchronous processing patterns.
•    Implement Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights for observability, alerting, and end-to-end tracing.
•    Apply Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) — content-based routing, message translation, claim check, saga/orchestration, pub-sub — in Azure-native designs.
•    Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps (YAML pipelines, ARM/Bicep/Terraform templates, automated testing, release gates) for Azure integration assets.
•    Implement security best practices: Managed Identity, Key Vault, OAuth2/OpenID Connect, mutual TLS, and network isolation (VNET integration, Private Endpoints).
•    Design for scalability, resiliency, and cost optimization (auto-scaling, retry/circuit-breaker patterns, dead-letter handling).
•    Collaborate with Cloud/Infra teams on landing zone, networking, and governance requirements for integration workloads.
