What You’ll Do

  • Act as a senior technical resource for the CICS infrastructure on z/OS.
  • Install, configure, maintain, upgrade, and support CICS and related IBM products.
  • Plan, analyze, design, build, test, and implement CICS-related infrastructure initiatives.
  • Troubleshoot complex CICS and z/OS issues and perform platform-level diagnostics.
  • Support CICS application development teams from an infrastructure perspective.

  • Work with related technologies including CICSPlex, CTG, z/OS, SMP/E, Omegamon, and System Automation.
  • Provide technical consultation to architects, application teams, and other infrastructure groups.
  • Mentor and support less-experienced CICS Systems Programmers.
  • Participate in rotating after-hours/on-call support.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with hands-on CICS systems programming experience, rather than someone whose background is primarily CICS application development.

Required / Key Experience:

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across technical teams.
