Job Description

We are seeking an experienced z/OS Connect Applications Developer to design, develop, and support API-based integrations between IBM Z platforms and cloud systems. This role focuses on both outbound integrations (CICS → Cloud APIs) and inbound integrations (Cloud APIs → z/OS Connect endpoints) connecting to CICS and/or IMS transaction processing environments.

The ideal candidate has strong mainframe application experience, hands-on knowledge of z/OS Connect EE, and a solid understanding of modern RESTful API design and cloud integration patterns.

Key Responsibilities

API Design & Development

  • Design, build, and maintain RESTful APIs using z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition (EE).
  • Develop inbound APIs exposing CICS and/or IMS transactions via z/OS Connect endpoints.
  • Develop outbound API integrations enabling CICS applications to securely invoke cloud-based REST APIs.
  • Define and maintain API contracts using OpenAPI / Swagger specifications.

Mainframe Integration

  • Integrate z/OS Connect with CICS Transaction Server and/or IMS TM applications.
  • Configure and manage service archives (SAR), z/OS Connect services, and related artifacts.
  • Work with COBOL, PL/I, or assembler-based backend programs to support API enablement.

Security & Governance

  • Implement authentication and authorization using OAuth 2.0, JWT, TLS, and certificates.
  • Ensure APIs conform to enterprise security, data protection, and compliance standards.
  • Collaborate with platform and security teams to support API lifecycle management and governance.

Operations & Support

  • Troubleshoot and resolve API integration, performance, and connectivity issues.
  • Monitor API usage and performance using z/OS Connect logs and enterprise monitoring tools.
  • Support deployment automation and CI/CD pipelines for z/OS Connect and related components.

Collaboration

  • Work closely with cloud, distributed systems, and application teams to design end-to-end solutions.
  • Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, and design discussions.
  • Create and maintain technical documentation and integration runbooks.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in IBM z/OS application development  (multiple client engagements).
  • Hands-on experience with z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition.
  • Proven experience with:
    • Inbound APIs: Cloud → z/OS Connect → CICS and/or IMS
    • Outbound APIs: CICS → Cloud-based REST APIs
  • Strong knowledge of CICS TS and/or IMS TM environments.
  • Experience working with COBOL (or PL/I) backend programs.
  • Solid understanding of RESTful API design, HTTP methods, JSON, and OpenAPI.
  • Familiarity with security concepts such as OAuth 2.0, TLS, and API authentication.
