• Ability to troubleshoot complex distributed and mainframe-integrated systems

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

What You'll Bring

• Experience with C and C++ is a strong plus

• Exposure to mainframe assembly language (ability to read and understand required; deep expertise is a plus)

• Experience with CICS and IMS integration

• Familiarity with database connectivity systems or the Teradata ecosystem

• Experience working in hybrid environments involving mainframe and cloud systems
