Description

Lead the modernization of mainframe systems to Java/Spring Boot architecture, defining end-state designs and migration blueprints.

Responsibilities

• Define modernization blueprints, migration patterns, and reference architectures for Java/Spring Boot systems.
• Analyze COBOL programs, JCL workflows, CICS/IMS transactions, DB2 schemas, and VSAM files to map legacy components to modern equivalents.
• Develop current-state and target-state architecture diagrams, identifying application dependencies and integration points.
• Guide design decisions for API-first, microservices, and event-driven systems, ensuring coexistence patterns during transition.
• Review converted Java code for quality and performance, establishing coding standards and DevSecOps practices.

Required Skills

• 10+ years of experience in mainframe technologies: COBOL, JCL, DB2, CICS, VSAM, IMS.
• 5+ years of Java and Spring Boot architecture with microservices design experience.
• Hands-on experience with mainframe modernization or transformation programs.
• Strong understanding of event-driven architecture (Kafka, MQ), API gateways, and REST API standards.
• Experience with batch processing at scale (Spring Batch) and RDBMS/NoSQL databases.
• Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines using Git, Jenkins, GitHub, or Azure DevOps.
• Ability to drive capacity planning, performance testing, and resiliency strategies.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with automated code conversion tools (Micro Focus, Heirloom, Astadia, IBM Wazi).
