Ask HN: Is "messaging systems specialist" a real job title or niche?

I'm curious if "messaging systems specialist" is an actual profile people hire for or if it's usually just part of a broader role like backend, devops or platform engineer.

Has anyone here worked in roles focused mostly on Kafka, RabbitMQ, Pulsar, NATS or similar systems? I find the whole topic fascinating, but wondering if it is a viable niche to specialize in or is it better to keep it general as part of platform/backend/cloud work?

There are some pretty unique programming skills involved but it might fall under the general rubric of "systems programmer" or a specialist in networking, e.g., you are probably writing servers that have more cross-thread or cross-fiber collaboration than the average webserver.
