  • Use IBM mainframe and development tools such as IBM Suite, File Manager, IBM Debugger, Eclipse/RDz, and Endevor to support application development, testing, troubleshooting, configuration management, and deployment activities.
  • Coordinate with COBOL, CICS, DB2, Assembly Language Coding, database, and infrastructure specialists to resolve interoperability and integration problems between Java and legacy mainframe applications.
  • Investigate mainframe interface failures, batch-processing problems, data-transfer issues, job abends, database errors, and production defects affecting Java applications.
  • Support Final Integration Testing readiness, defect investigation, code corrections, production implementation, and post-deployment monitoring for Java and mainframe-integrated applications.
  • Integrate applications with IRS enterprise systems, shared services, databases, infrastructure, and external interfaces.

  • Maintain accurate code, configuration, testing, and lifecycle artifacts in designated repositories.
  • Provide technical guidance, knowledge transfer, coaching, and mentoring to team members and IRS personnel.
  • Explain complex Java, mainframe, database, and integration matters to nontechnical stakeholders and prepare presentations or briefings for Government leadership.
