About the Role
DXC Technology is seeking a Senior C Linux Application and Systems Technical Lead to serve as a Techno Functional Lead on a critical enterprise application modernization initiative. This role is central to the stability, performance, and evolution of large, mature, and highly interconnected C/C++ codebases, many of which are tied to mission-critical, high-volume transaction processing environments such as airline Passenger Service Systems.

In this role, you will act as a senior technical escalation point, providing hands-on troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and technical governance across builds and releases. You will work closely with developers and specialist subject matter experts to resolve complex runtime, memory, threading, and system behavior issues, while also driving remediation of technical debt and improvements in code quality and system stability. Experience with TPF and mainframe modernization is highly valuable, as this role supports the migration and re-platforming of legacy/mainframe applications to Linux and cloud environments.
This is a high-impact position for an experienced technical leader who thrives in complex, mission-critical environments and is passionate about operational excellence, knowledge transfer, and technical mentorship.
