Job Description
Mainframe Tech Lead /Solution Architect
GlobalLogic
Role Description The engagement supports a maintenance assessment and advisory for a legacy mainframe environment built primarily on COBOL, running mission-critical batch and online workloads. The objective is to establish a fact-based understanding of the current application estate and its support model, and to define a scoped, low risk maintenance pilot as the basis for a potential longer term managed services engagement. - The initial advisory phase is an assessment structured in three stages: - A scope-alignment workshop to agree services, ownership, and boundaries; - A current-state assessment of the code estate, data, batch/online flows, operations, and ticket history to establish baselines and pain points; - A pilot-identification stage to prioritize candidate use cases and define objectives and success metrics. - The phase is diagnostic in nature - it covers evaluation, characterization, and effort estimation only, with no code remediation or production changes performed during assessment. - Success depends heavily on timely access to client subject-matter experts and to the target environment. Qualifications - Deep mainframe experience on COBOL-based estates. - Hands-on experience with Hitachi VOS-family mainframes and the XDM/DCCM3 and XDM/RD stack (or demonstrable deep equivalence from IBM CICS/IMS-DC and DB2, with willingness to ramp on the Hitachi dialect). - Proven ability to characterize a multi-million-LOC estate across online, batch, data, and integration tiers and translate it into complexity and criticality assessments. - Experience defining maintenance or support operating models (roles, SLAs, runbooks, escalation) for legacy systems. - Able to critically validate AI-generated analysis against source code and SME input before it informs decisions. - Able to lead technical discovery and deep-dives directly with client subject-matter experts. - Strong stakeholder-facing communication, including presenting findings and recommendations to senior audiences. Requirements - Own the technical discovery and characterization of the legacy mainframe COBOL estate. - Produce complexity, criticality, and maintainability assessments of applications, batch flows, and integrations. - Map application, data, and batch dependencies to identify risks and single points of failure. - Oversee AI-assisted analysis and validate machine-generated findings against source and SME input before use. - Define the proposed target maintenance operating model and support approach. - Scope and prioritize candidate use cases for a subsequent maintenance pilot. - Direct the work of the team and consolidate outputs into architectural findings. - Present assessment outcomes, risks, and recommendations to client and internal stakeholders. Benefits - Empowering Projects: With 500+ clients spanning diverse industries and domains, we provide an exciting opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking projects that leverage cutting-edge technologies. - Empowering Growth: We foster a culture of continuous learning and professional development, providing timely and comprehensive assistance for every consultant through our dedicated Learning & Development team. - DE&I Matters: At GlobalLogic, we deeply value and embrace diversity, providing equal opportunities for all individuals and fostering an inclusive and empowering work environment. - Career Development: Our corporate culture places a strong emphasis on career development, offering abundant opportunities for growth and regular interactions with our teams. - Comprehensive Benefits: We provide a comprehensive benefits package that prioritizes the overall well-being of our consultants. - Flexible Opportunities: We prioritize work-life balance by offering flexible opportunities tailored to your lifestyle, including relocation and rotation options for diverse cultural and professional experiences.
