We are looking for an experienced Mainframe Datacom Engineer / DBA to support an established Broadcom (CA) Datacom environment running on IBM z/OS.

Key Responsibilities:

Administer and maintain Broadcom / CA Datacom databases on IBM z/OS.

Diagnose and resolve complex database and platform issues.

Perform database backup, recovery, restoration and administration.

Troubleshoot database performance and query-related issues.

Support Datacom patching, fixes, maintenance and validation.

Carry out root cause analysis and implement permanent fixes.

Provide technical support to application, operations and infrastructure teams.

Take ownership of existing BAU Datacom activities.

Experience with database backup, recovery and performance tuning.

Practical Datacom patching and maintenance experience.

Proven ability to independently troubleshoot and resolve technical issues.

Experience supporting enterprise-scale production Datacom environments.

Availability to work Mexico-aligned hours.
