Title : Mainframe Systems Engineer
Location: Columbus, OH
Onsite
Type: Contract to hire
Role Overview:
We are seeking a Systems Programmer / Mainframe Systems Engineer specializing in the Broadcom Endevor ecosystem. This is a high-level systems programming role, not an operations or deployment position. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of Source Code Management (SCM) tools, including the installation, maintenance, and deep-level configuration of the environment, rather than simply executing code moves or restarts.
Key Responsibilities:
- SCM Infrastructure Management: Act as the primary systems programmer for Broadcom Endevor, responsible for installation, SMP/E maintenance, upgrades, and performance tuning.
- Environment Architecture: Design and maintain Endevor inventory structures, processors, and exits to ensure robust code integrity across the development lifecycle.
- DevOps Integration: Bridge the gap between mainframe and distributed systems by integrating Endevor with modern CI/CD tools such as Bitbucket and Jenkins.
- Automation: Develop administrative scripts and tools using Python (preferred) or REXX to automate system maintenance tasks and streamline SCM workflows.
- Tool Maintenance: Manage the integration and maintenance of peripheral code management products and third-party plugins.
Technical Qualifications:
- Systems Programming: Proven experience installing and maintaining Broadcom Endevor (not just as a user, but as an administrator/engineer).
- Mainframe Expertise: Deep knowledge of z/OS, JCL, and SMP/E for software installation and maintenance.
- Modern Version Control: Practical experience with Bitbucket (Git) and an understanding of how to synchronize or migrate mainframe codebases to distributed repositories.
- CI/CD Pipeline Knowledge: Experience with Jenkins integration for automated build and deployment processes is highly preferred.
- Scripting: Proficiency in Python for modern automation; experience with REXX or CLIST is also beneficial.
