Job Details
Job Title: Senior Mainframe Developer
Location: Reston, VA/Hybrid (NEED LOCAL)
Technical Requirements (Core):
This role requires a strong mainframe engineering background with hands-on migration experience.
Must-Have Skills:
CA ChangeMan ZMF (CMF) required
IBM IDz / IDzEE (IDZEE) required
Mainframe development and build processes
JCLs, skeletons, and mainframe compilation workflows
Experience supporting or executing CMF IDZEE migrations (highly preferred)
Migration Experience:
Prior experience migrating from ChangeMan ZMF to IDz/IDzEE is a strong differentiator
Candidates without direct migration experience may be considered only if they have:
Deep CMF expertise
Strong IDZEE experience
Ability to quickly ramp up on migration-specific requirements
DevOps & Tooling Context
The organization has an existing DevOps team
Mainframe development is not yet fully integrated into DevOps tools
This role supports enabling that transition
IDZEE is already a DevOps-oriented platform, but mainframe constraints still apply
Nice-to-Have (Not Required):
The following skills are not primary requirements and will not outweigh mainframe migration expertise:
JavaScript, C, Python
Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure)
DB2
General cloud or Java-stack experience
These are considered value-adds only.
