What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director - Software Engineering position at HCL Technologies?
This is a very senior position.
You will be responsible for the architecture of a significant piece of mainframe system software.
You are at least a Senior Lead Software Engineer used to dealing with other technical people at a deeply technical level on the IBM mainframe.
You have strong technical leadership skills and most importantly able to influence the direction of other technical personnel.
You are able to develop code on the mainframe (most of our code is PL/X, but we also use plenty of HLASM, C and the usual REXX, JCL, CLIST etc.); so you must be hands-on.
You will be expected to provide vision and technical direction, play a key role in the investigation and adoption of different technologies on the mainframe.
Fluent English speaker/writer.
You are a problem solver you are able to analyze complex system situations and develop solutions.
You are THOROUGHLY familiar with the mainframe, its various sub-systems, features etc (TSO, z/OS, ISPF, CICS, Batch, DB2, IMS, MQ, VSAM, PDS, QSAM, PDSE/2, CATALOGS, SDSF, exits, SCLM, DUMPS, Abend analysis, utilities etc).
You understand mainframe z/OS, how to configure it for your usage and generally get-around (eg RACF, ACF2)
You have mainframe software development experience using: PL/X, PLI, JCL, REXX, C, HLASM (We do not use much COBOL.)
System software developer highly preferred (eg low level, file system) over an Application software developer (eg business logic, reports)
You are prepared to be flexible so that your working day can overlap with other GEOs (with Perth, Australia, India & Louisiana, USA).
You are prepared to give a demonstration of your skills at an interactive technical interview.
Detail JD
I will forward a separate detail JD.
