Job description

We are seeking a CICS System Programmer to administer, support, and optimize enterprise IBM CICS environments. This role focuses on CICS platform stability, availability, performance, configuration, and system-level troubleshooting, rather than application development.

Roles and Responsibilities
  • Ensure CICS production and test regions are stable, available, and operating efficiently.
  • Monitor system health, performance, and capacity, and proactively address availability risks.
  • Install, configure, maintain, upgrade, and patch CICS Transaction Server (CICS TS) environments.
  • Manage CICS regions, startup parameters (DFHSIT), resource definitions (RDO), and system configuration settings.
  • Perform CICS version migrations, upgrades, and PTF maintenance.
  • Monitor transaction performance, CPU utilization, storage usage, and system metrics.
  • Troubleshoot performance issues, abends, dumps, logs, and traces to identify root causes and implement fixes.
  • Provide production support and resolve complex CICS system-level incidents.
  • Work with security teams to manage secure access to CICS resources using RACF.
  • Support CICS integration with DB2, MQ, IMS, TCP/IP, and web services.
  • Support CICS environments operating across Sysplex and distributed environments.
  • Maintain accurate system documentation, configuration records, and operational procedures.
  • Follow established ITIL and change-management processes for system changes and production support.
Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience working in IBM z/OS mainframe environments.
  • Strong hands-on experience with CICS Transaction Server (CICS TS).
  • Experience installing, configuring, maintaining, upgrading, and patching CICS.
  • Experience managing CICS regions, DFHSIT parameters, RDO resource definitions, and startup configurations.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills involving system dumps, logs, traces, abends, and performance issues.
  • Experience with CICS performance monitoring and tuning tools.
  • Strong understanding of mainframe system operations and infrastructure.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting Sysplex environments.
  • Familiarity with monitoring tools such as OMEGAMON, MainView, or TMON.
  • Experience integrating CICS with DB2, MQ, IMS, TCP/IP, and distributed systems.
  • Knowledge of mainframe security and RACF.
  • Automation or scripting experience using REXX, Python, or Shell.
  • Experience supporting large-scale enterprise or financial services environments.
