• Strong understanding of WTOR handling, command automation, and event-driven triggers.
• Experience with version control (Git) and DevOps practices for mainframe.
Preferred:
• Exposure to Ansible for z/OS or similar automation frameworks.
• Knowledge of REST APIs for mainframe integration with enterprise automation tools.
