eNGINE is hiring a Mainframe/COBOL Developer who sees legacy systems not as something to maintain, but something to transform. You'll take ownership of modernizing core mainframe infrastructure, automate high-risk manual workflows, and help bridge the gap between mainframe and distributed platforms. Deep mainframe expertise paired with a genuine drive to learn automation and distributed systems will go a long way here — and if you already have that experience, even better.
What You'll Do:
- Modernize legacy mainframe systems (COBOL, JCL, VSAM, DB2) and enable integration with distributed platforms (Oracle, APIs)
- Lead efforts to automate high-risk, manual business workflows — including client account onboarding/offboarding and account merges
- Collaborate with India-based teams and navigate challenging stakeholder conversations with clarity and assertiveness
- Take full ownership of deliverables: identify gaps, raise flags early, and proactively drive solutions forward
- Immerse yourself in the business side of cash sweeps — deep understanding of the domain is key to success in this role
Must-Have Skills:
- Mainframe Core: COBOL, JCL, VSAM, DB2, z/OS
- Distributed Exposure: Oracle DB, SQL, data sync/migration strategies
- Tools & Utilities: CA-7, Control-M, REXX, FILEAID, AbendAid, SPUFI, QMF, Changeman/Endeavor
- Automation Focus: Demonstrated ability to streamline batch, reporting, and conversion jobs
- Process Insight: Experience with conversions, client onboarding, policy administration, or reporting
Nice to Have:
- Familiarity with API development, MQ Series, or integration patterns
- Knowledge of ad hoc reporting, SQL performance tuning, and batch job optimization
