工作模式 Hybrid

Serve as an Associate Architect specializing in IBM mainframe and transaction processing platforms designing resilient solutions using IBM z TPFDF, IBM TPF Assembler, and MVS Assembler HLASM for large scale enterprise environments. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in a hybrid work model to modernize critical systems, enhance performance, and ensure reliability for high volume, safety-critical workloads.

Responsibilities

• Design and evolve high-performance transaction processing solutions using IBM z TPFDF to support mission-critical enterprise applications with stringent availability needs.
• Develop optimized modules in IBM TPF Assembler that efficiently handle large-scale workloads while maintaining strict reliability and throughput targets.
• Implement robust low-level services and utilities using MVS Assembler HLASM to enable stable integration with surrounding mainframe subsystems.
• Analyze complex existing TPF and MVS Assembler codebases to identify optimization opportunities, reduce technical debt, and improve maintainability.
• Collaborate with system engineers, testers, and product teams to translate functional and non-functional requirements into detailed mainframe technical designs.
• Create detailed architecture and design documentation that clearly explains structures, data flows, and error handling for IBM z TPFDF and Assembler components.
• Conduct rigorous code reviews of IBM TPF Assembler and HLASM modules to ensure adherence to coding standards, performance guidelines, and security practices.
• Perform advanced debugging and root cause analysis for production and preproduction incidents on TPF platforms to restore service quickly and prevent recurrence.
• Optimize memory usage, I/O handling, and CPU consumption in TPF and MVS Assembler routines to meet service level objectives and cost efficiency targets.
• Partner with infrastructure and operations teams to plan capacity, tune system parameters, and validate that architectural decisions align with platform constraints.
• Guide continuous improvement initiatives that introduce automation, better monitoring, and standardized patterns across TPF and Assembler components.
• Prepare and execute unit tests, component tests, and integration tests tailored for low-level IBM z mainframe environments to ensure robust releases.
• Document operational runbooks and support guides that help production support teams handle common scenarios, fallback paths, and recovery steps for TPF solutions.
• Communicate architectural trade-offs and design choices to both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a clear and concise manner.
• Align daily work with company objectives by designing systems that improve service reliability, reduce downtime, and support inclusive access to digital services.
• Participate in knowledge sharing sessions, internal communities, and mentoring activities to uplift team capabilities in IBM z TPFDF and Assembler technologies.
• Ensure that all design and implementation activities comply with regulatory, security, and audit requirements applicable to enterprise mainframe platforms.

Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience with IBM z TPFDF to design performant file processing and data access patterns for transaction-intensive solutions.
• Deep expertise in IBM TPF Assembler to build and maintain low-latency application logic, control programs, and support modules in large mainframe landscapes.
• Practical experience with MVS Assembler HLASM to integrate TPF components with other mainframe subsystems and shared services in a cohesive manner.
• Solid understanding of mainframe performance tuning, dump analysis, and trace tools to troubleshoot challenging issues efficiently.
• Experience in software design principles, data structures, and algorithm optimization to craft maintainable and scalable Assembler-based architectures.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills to work with distributed hybrid teams and coordinate deliveries across multiple stakeholders.
• Experience of six to nine years in enterprise software or systems engineering roles to navigate complex environments and deliver stable outcomes.
• Familiarity with modern development practices such as version control, automated builds, and structured testing adapted for mainframe contexts.

We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Opportunities for professional growth and development
• Flexible work arrangements
