Key Responsibilities

• Deliver end-to-end on the mainframe stack — from design through production rollout — and stay accountable for it after it ships.
• Build mainframe ↔ Java integrations — MQ-based messaging, APIs, and data flows that bridge legacy systems with Spring Boot services.
• Drive technical execution on your modules — make sound design choices, write production-grade code, and proactively flag risks.
• Build hands-on in COBOL, CICS, DB2, JCL, and MQ.
• Ramp into Java/Spring Boot — actively learn, pair with Java engineers, and pick up Spring Boot work as it becomes available.
• Mentor junior engineers through code review, pairing, and design discussions

What you have

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's in Engineering, CS, or related field.
• Core Mainframe Engineering
• 8+ yrs: COBOL, JCL, CICS, DB2, and MQ in high-volume, highly-available production environments.
• Solid experience with batch processing, online transaction processing (OLTP), and data integration patterns.
• Mainframe ↔ Java Integration
• Hands-on experience building integrations between mainframe and Java/Spring Boot workloads — MQ messaging, APIs fronting mainframe services, or data synchronization.
• Java & Modernization Readiness
• Java fundamentals and a strong desire to move into the Java/Spring Boot stack within 18–24 months.
• Comfortable picking up Spring Boot, REST APIs, and cloud-native patterns through structured ramp-up and on-the-job delivery.
• Familiarity with cloud concepts (GCP, AWS, or Azure) — preferred.
  
• Willingness to adopt AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) in day-to-day work, with ownership of correctness.
  
• Agile + Atlassian stack (JIRA, Confluence).
• Drives features to completion — anticipates risks, proposes solutions.
• Experience collaborating with vendors, offshore teams, and internal stakeholders.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication

Preferred Qualifications

• Module-level ownership — designs, builds, and supports mainframe services and integrations end-to-end; writes clear technical specs and contributes to architectural discussions on modernization.
• Quality and reliability — raises code quality through reviews, automated testing, and operational rigor; treats production stability as a personal commitment.
• Effective communication — delivers concise written and verbal updates; explains technical choices clearly to engineers and non-engineers across both legacy and modern stacks.
