  • Build and optimize data access using DB2, IMS-DB, VSAM, and MQ.
  • Create reusable utilities and automation using REXX, CLIST, and shell scripting where applicable.
• Systems & Performance
  • Analyze SMF/DB2/CICS metrics and tune programs, DB2 SQL, VSAM structures, and buffer pools to reduce CPU and elapsed time.
  • Improve batch schedules and throughput within defined batch windows; troubleshoot abends (S0C7, S0C4, S806, etc.).
• Operations & DevOps
  • Author production‑ready JCL, procs, PARMs; integrate with schedulers (e.g., CA 7, Control‑M, Tivoli).
  • Use TSO/ISPF, SDSF, SMP/E, z/OSMF, and modern tooling (Zowe, Git, Jenkins, Rocket or equivalent).
  • Participate in CI/CD pipelines for mainframe code, automated unit/functional testing, and code quality gates.
• Security & Compliance
  • Implement secure coding practices; remediate findings (static/dynamic scans).
  • Collaborate with IAM/security teams on RACF/Top Secret/ACF2 resource protections, dataset access, and SMF auditing.
  • Ensure compliance with SOX, PCI, HIPAA, and internal controls; maintain robust change management documentation.
• Analysis & Support
  • Partner with business analysts to translate requirements into technical designs; prepare technical specs and ERDs.
  • Provide L3 production support, root cause analysis, and incident follow‑up; implement reliable fixes and post‑mortems.
• Modernization
  • Contribute to API enablement, data virtualization, and microservices integration (e.g., z/OS Connect, MQ, Kafka bridges).
  • Support code refactoring, re-platforming, and interoperability efforts with distributed/cloud systems.
