The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise, strong problem‑solving skills, and the ability to collaborate with cross‑functional teams in a fast‑moving enterprise environment.

Job Responsibility:

  • Install, upgrade, configure, and customise IBM CICS Transaction Server and IBM MQ across multiple z/OS environments

  • Conduct system testing including integration, regression, concurrency, and failover scenarios
  • Diagnose and resolve complex issues using IPCS, system traces, dumps, logs, and performance data
  • Perform root cause analysis (RCA) and deliver actionable recommendations to prevent recurrence
  • Lead or contribute to performance tuning, capacity planning, and workload optimisation initiatives
  • Support compliance, audit, and security requirements, including RACF and platform hardening
  • Produce clear technical documentation, operational procedures, and stakeholder reporting
  • Collaborate with application, infrastructure, and security teams to support change, release, and modernisation programmes

Requirements:

  • Solid hands‑on experience with IBM CICS Transaction Server and IBM MQ in large‑scale z/OS environments
  • Strong understanding of CICS architecture, regions, RDO, CPSM/CICSPlex, and intercommunication facilities
  • Solid experience with MQ administration, including clustering, security, logging, and recovery
  • Good working knowledge of CTG (CICS Transaction Gateway) and its integration patterns
  • Strong z/OS systems programming background, including JCL, SMP/E, WLM, JES2, and subsystem integration
  • Proficiency with RACF and mainframe security concepts
  • Demonstrated capability in performance tuning, problem determination, and high‑severity incident resolution
  • Experience supporting modernisation initiatives, such as APIs, REST enablement, Zowe, DevOps tooling, or hybrid‑cloud integration
  • Ability to produce high‑quality documentation and communicate effectively with technical and non‑technical stakeholders

Nice to have:

  • Experience with DB2, IMS, or MQ on distributed platforms
  • Familiarity with automation tools (OPS/MVS, System Automation, Control‑M, TWS)
  • Exposure to observability tooling, SMF analytics, or performance monitoring suites
  • Knowledge of CICS web services, Liberty, or Java integration on z/OS
  • Participation in on‑call or 24/7 support environments
What we offer:
  • A comprehensive, locally competitive benefits package
  • The opportunity to work on high‑availability, enterprise‑scale IBM Z platforms
  • A key role in shaping modernisation, performance, and resilience strategies
  • Collaboration with experienced engineers across infrastructure, security, and application domains
  • A stable environment with room for technical depth, innovation, and continuous learning
