Job Overview

This role involves shaping and executing the Chapter’s vision in partnership with fellow Chapter Leads. The position requires defining the technology strategy, choosing future-ready tech stacks, and establishing scalable and resilient systems. The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical expert with leadership qualities who can drive best practices across domains, mentor teams, and foster a culture of engineering excellence. Rather than focusing on application ownership, the role centers on capability development, technical direction, and strategic planning. A key priority will be the transformation and migration from legacy IBM mainframe technologies to modern solutions.

Primary Responsibilities

Lead backend development on mainframe platforms, overseeing the full development lifecycle from coding to production.
Optimize backend performance, ensuring high reliability and efficiency across mainframe systems.
Manage and deliver backend projects involving mainframe databases and transaction processing systems.
Maintain integrations between mainframe and other platforms, ensuring seamless data flow and system interoperability.
Promote advanced tools and practices in the mainframe space to enhance overall system capabilities.
Foster a strong engineering culture focused on quality, feedback, and best coding practices.
Enhance SDLC effectiveness by streamlining processes to support scalable, high-quality software delivery.
Drive talent development through technical mentorship, thought leadership, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
Encourage agile and lean methodologies to build a high-performing, growth-oriented team.
Guide the modernization of legacy systems, especially the migration away from IBM mainframe technology.

Skills & Experience

Deep expertise in IBM Z / OS operations and COBOL programming, with experience using tools like ENDEVOR, EXPEDITER, and API frameworks such as KONG and SOLACE.

Strong integration background using enterprise patterns (e.g., MQ, CFT) and modernization via frameworks like Spring Boot.

Proficient in DB2 and capable of developing and optimizing RPGLE / SQLRPGLE on AS400 systems.

Proven track record in legacy system modernization and integration with newer technologies to boost performance and flexibility.

Demonstrated leadership in major IT initiatives that align with broader engineering strategies and policy development.

Over 15 years of experience in mainframe environments, including 4+ years in leadership roles.

Skilled in performance tuning, debugging, documentation, and using version control tools such as Git or Bitbucket in mainframe settings.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.
