  • Automate build, deploy, and release processes via CI/CD pipelines for mainframe artifacts.
  • Maintain version control, branching/merging, and ensure code quality and adherence to coding standards and best practices.
  • Drive continuous improvement: suggest and implement process enhancements, automation, and tooling.
  • Mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and promote knowledge sharing.

    for mainframe: building automated pipelines for compile, test, deploy.
  • Familiarity with modern DevOps tools (e.g. Jenkins, Git, Ansible, UrbanCode, XL Deploy, or other relevant tools).
  • Experience with version control systems and branching strategies.
  • Exposure to CICS, IMS, DB2, VSAM, or equivalent subsystems (preferred).
  • Strong debugging, performance tuning, and troubleshooting skills.
