Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced Mainframe Modernization Expert with a solid track record in converting mainframe applications and databases to cloud-hosted, modernized solutions. This role requires deep expertise in mainframe (M/F) systems, hands-on experience with mainframe-to-modern code conversion tools, and a strong understanding of cloud environments and Java-based solutions. The selected candidate will be responsible for analyzing, designing, and implementing migration strategies to transition our mainframe-based systems with minimal downtime and maximum data integrity.

Key Responsibilities:

Analyze legacy mainframe systems (e.g., COBOL, DB2, stored procedures, BMS Maps, JCL) to identify migration paths, dependencies, and potential risks.
Migrate or redesign user interface components, including BMS Maps, into modern Java-based front-end frameworks.
Translate and optimize batch processing components, including JCL-driven jobs, to Java batch frameworks, ensuring equivalent functionality and performance.
Design and execute a comprehensive migration strategy, prioritizing critical components such as business logic, UI screens, batch processes, and stored procedures.
Utilize modernization and code conversion tools to facilitate an efficient migration process, ensuring compatibility with modern cloud-hosted solutions.
Convert or rewrite mainframe DB2 for z/OS stored procedures and schemas to Java-compatible formats or modern database solutions.
Provide expertise in handling IBM Db2 for z/OS, including schema understanding, data model optimization, and stored procedure integration with COBOL or other mainframe languages.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to maintain business continuity, data integrity, and minimize downtime during migration.
Leverage cloud platform knowledge (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) to deploy and manage modernized systems in cloud-hosted environments.
Ensure all migrated applications, UI components, batch processes, and databases are optimized and meet performance requirements in the cloud environment.

Key Qualifications:

Mainframe and Database Expertise: Extensive experience with mainframe applications, including BMS Maps, JCL, and DB2, and deep involvement in end-to-end migration processes.
Modernization Tools Proficiency: Skilled in using code conversion and migration tools to support smooth and efficient transitions to modern architectures.
Cloud Knowledge: Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud and deployment of Java-based solutions.
DB2 for z/OS: Proficient in IBM Db2 for z/OS, with strong knowledge of mainframe DB2 schemas, stored procedures, and experience rewriting them for modern databases.
Java Understanding: Good knowledge of Java, with familiarity in Spring or microservices-based frameworks preferred.

Abilities:

Analyze and break down legacy components, including BMS Maps, batch JCL jobs, and DB2 entities, to define detailed migration strategies.
Prioritize migration tasks to focus on critical system components and ensure minimal business disruption.
Design and implement strategies that ensure data integrity, maintain business continuity, and deliver high performance in the modernized cloud environment.
