REMOTE - IS Technical Specialist

Overview

Provide full project life cycle support for the Enterprise Services Mainframe team to ensure maintenance of Web Services communications and mainframe infrastructure for the Bank’s online software applications. Research, design, develop, integrate, enhance, and support service oriented architecture system projects in COBOL/DB2/CICS/Web Services/MQ/XML mainframe-based environment. Develop integration layer of SOA stack to provide technical solutions based upon user specifications to support financial service lines.

Develop unit test cases and perform unit testing and integration of layers based on Web Sphere SOA stack. Prepare detailed design document and interface mapping document which describe how various applications should communicate with one another and the databases from which they retrieve and store data. Perform impact analysis, code development, and software debugging. Store and retrieve customer data in tables in various databases using DB2 databases and use SQL to insert, retrieve, and delete data.

Run batch programs for applications using JCL, write online batch programs for SOA processes using COBOL, and provide online connectivity for applications and databases using CICS. Use distributed middleware applications, including IBM Data Power, IBM Web Sphere Enterprise Service Bus, and IBM Integration Bus, to support integration of mainframe Web Services in a CICS environment. Mentor junior developers in the build stage.
