Description

Lead the Mainframe SRE team while owning reliability, availability, and resilience for z/OS environments. You will blend traditional mainframe engineering with modern SRE principles, driving automation, observability, and incident management.

Responsibilities

• Lead the Mainframe SRE team, providing technical direction, mentoring, and performance guidance.
• Own reliability, availability, and resilience of mainframe environments (z/OS and related subsystems).
• Define and implement SRE practices including SLIs, SLOs, SLAs, error budgets, and reliability metrics.
• Drive automation to reduce manual operations, improve recovery time, and enhance system stability.
• Lead incident management, root cause analysis (RCA), and post-incident reviews.

Required Skills

• 10+ years of experience in mainframe systems engineering or operations.
• Strong hands-on expertise with IBM z/OS.
• Experience with core mainframe components: CICS, IMS, DB2, JES2/JES3, MQ, SMF, SDSF.
• Solid understanding of mainframe performance tuning and capacity planning.
• 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).
• Experience leading production support and managing major incidents.

Preferred Skills

• 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.
