Mainframe / COBOL Developer – Financial Systems-

Notes from the Manager:

This role is fundamentally a Mainframe Programmer position focused on classic MF technologies (COBOL, DB2, JCL, Easytrieve, VSAM). OFSAA is
not
required for this role.

  • 30% of the job will be mainframe support/programming
  • This person will be the only MF resource on the team
  • The other 70% will involve wearing multiple hats and working with other technologies such as EDW and/or OFSAA
  • The team is fully willing to train the right person on everything
    outside
    the mainframe stack

This is a fantastic opportunity for a strong, career-long mainframe professional who wants to expand their skill set and get hands-on experience with modern data technologies.

The only non-technical requirement: the candidate must
be open to — and enthusiastic about
— learning new technologies
