Requirements

What we're looking for

At CONVOTIS Iberia, we are looking to hire a Senior Mainframe Consultant with a global vision of the IBM z/OS environment: someone who knows the platform from infrastructure and operations, but who has also developed in COBOL and worked with databases.

You will join stable projects with major clients in the financial and services sectors, where you will be a technical reference point and act as a liaison between development, systems, and business.

  • At least 8 years of experience in IBM z/OS Mainframe environments

  • Experience in production operation and control: TSO/ISPF, SDSF, JES2, and batch schedulers

  • Demonstrable experience in COBOL development (batch and CICS) and JCL

  • Solid knowledge of DB2 and SQL

  • ITIL methodology (incidents, problems, and changes)

  • Analytical capacity, good communication with the client, and autonomy

Nice to have

  • IMS DB/DC, MQ, and VSAM

  • Automation: REXX, System Automation, or OPS/MVS

  • Modernization tools: Zowe, Git, Endevor, or IBM Developer for z/OS

  • Professional English

  • Experience in banking or insurance

The role

What you'll do

  • Advise on the improvement and automation of Mainframe operations: batch planning, monitoring, and incident management

  • Analyze, develop, and optimize batch and online (CICS) COBOL programs

  • Design and review schedules in Control-M, TWS, or CA-7, and validate the JCL of new processes

  • Work with DB2: SQL queries, performance, LOAD/UNLOAD utilities, and resolution of data access problems (IMS, if known)

  • Act as a link between development, systems, and business during critical incidents and production deployments

  • Participate in modernization initiatives: DevOps on Mainframe and cloud integration

  • Document procedures and mentor junior profiles

How you'll work

Your working day offers flexibility, so you can adjust your schedule within a certain margin to best suit your needs. If you work extra hours one day or need to leave early for personal reasons, you can make up the time another day without any issues. Additionally, you can decide whether you want to work from the office or from home.

At the office, you will find coffee, candies, and a foosball table to relax and share great moments with your colleagues. We also offer health insurance and flexible compensation.

Throughout the year, you can participate in internal events, outdoor activities, fun days, and paddle tennis matches. We want you to enjoy your time and take the time off you need, always surrounded by a close-knit and collaborative team.

Regarding your professional development, we support your growth: you will have access to training, English classes, and certifications. We value your learning and your aspirations.

All of this is part of our #CONVOTISLife philosophy. We grow together.
