  • Plan and execute capacity management, performance tuning, and workload optimization
  • Ensure compliance with security, regulatory, and audit requirements
  • Lead disaster recovery (DR) planning, testing, and high-availability strategies
  • Champion continuous improvement, DevOps, and SRE culture within mainframe operations

Required Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of experience in mainframe systems engineering or operations
  • Strong hands-on expertise with IBM z/OS
  • Experience with core mainframe components such as:
    • CICS, IMS, DB2
    • JES2/JES3
    • MQ, SMF, SDSF
  • Solid understanding of mainframe performance tuning and capacity planning
  • Experience leading production support and managing major incidents
  • Strong scripting and automation skills (REXX, JCL, CLIST, Python, or equivalent)
  • Familiarity with monitoring and scheduling tools (e.g., OMEGAMON, CA/BMC tools, Control-M)

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience applying SRE principles in a mainframe or hybrid (mainframe + distributed) environment
  • Exposure to DevOps, CI/CD, and automation frameworks
  • Knowledge of Linux on Z and cloud integration patterns
  • Experience with resilience engineering, chaos testing, or fault injection concepts
  • Prior people-lead or technical-lead experience
