We are looking for an experienced mainframe/CICS systems and application level architect and engineer in Durham, NC. This individual will operate at a senior level, influencing the design and implementation of the mainframe/CICS components of the HB.js product. HB.js is a JavaScript engine that runs on the mainframe, under CICS and on the zIIP specialty processor. HB.js allows customers to expose any and all CICS applications and data as web service APIs. By enabling API modernization in-place and at scale, HB.js allows customers to leverage their existing and ongoing investments in the mainframe – as well as integrate them seamlessly with cloud-based applications and alternative user interfaces.
In this role, the selected candidate will work within the development organization as part of the team that drives the product forward through effective engineering, architecture and customer interactions. Day-to-day, the range of work and projects will be highly varied. For example, you will function as a senior architect and developer, designing and authoring new product features, as well as assisting with support tickets. However, you will also apply your real-world experience in regular interactions with customers, assessing their modernization strategies, understanding their requirements, demoing the product, and guiding their adoption.
Because HB.js runs under CICS, and exploits some of the most sophisticated aspects of CICS, the selected candidate will have extensive background with CICS internals and performance optimization. Additionally, they will have strong real-world experience in the ways large organizations deploy CICS applications at scale, and integrate CICS apps/data with non-mainframe systems. Experience with other major mainframe subsystems is a definite plus.
Because HB.js exploits the zIIP specialty engine, the selected candidate will also have strong and relevant experience with both z/OS and USS operating system services – including authorized and privileged services. They should be familiar with the inherent differences between TCB and SRB programming/services. Given the unique architecture of HB.js, the selected candidate should also be familiar with IBM Language Environment customization, as well as advanced LE features such as preinitialized LE enclaves.
While the selected candidate will join the team with existing deep technical experience, they need to be ready to learn more and go further. Excellent organizational, communication, problem-solving, and creative skills are a must, and the selected candidate will demonstrate a life-long ability to learn new approaches and technologies. Your ability to adapt with changing priorities is an important strength. The ability to perform customer demos and effectively communicate with customers is a must. The individual and team goal will be to maintain high-quality software aligned with user needs and business objectives.
