Job Description & How to Apply Below

As a Senior Principal at Slalom, you will help clients accelerate large scale technology transformation by turning decades-old mainframe code into agile, cloud-native systems. This role blends deep systems understanding of z/OS with modern cloud, Dev Ops, and AI-assisted engineering practices. You’ll work across multiple domains, from code analysis and business-logic extraction to automated refactoring and re- platforming helping enterprises transition mission-critical workloads to hyperscaler infrastructure.

What you will do:
  • Understand, extract and document business logic from mainframe applications.
  • Modernize and refactor legacy code using automated transformation tools and AI coding agents.
  • Reimagine monolithic systems into cloud-native microservices and event-driven architectures.
  • Build, containerize, and deploy workloads to AWS (or other hyper scaler platforms).
  • Prototype modernization accelerators and proof-of-concepts using LLMs, code analysis tools, and custom pipelines.
  • Collaborate with architects, operators, and data engineers to ensure secure and efficient modernization patterns.
What you will bring:
  • Proficiency in one or more mainframe languages: COBOL, PL/I, HLASM, JCL, etc.
  • Knowledge of z/OS fundamentals: CICS, DB2, VSAM, batch scheduling, system utilities.
  • Experience deploying workloads to a major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Experience leveraging LLMs and coding agents in software development workflows.
  • Strong prototyping and POC development capability in dynamic environments.
  • Thrives in fast-moving, collaborative and entrepreneurial teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with modernization frameworks such as AWS Blu Age or AWS Mainframe Modernization (Transform for z/OS).
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Cloud Formation/Terraform), and container orchestration (Kubernetes/Open Shift).
  • Understanding of legacy data integration (DB2, VSAM, IMS) with modern cloud data stores.
  • Experience designing automated test harnesses for workload equivalence validation.
  • Awareness of enterprise security and IAM frameworks (RACF, IAM roles, encryption-at-rest/in-transit).
  • Experience fine-tuning or prompting code-centric LLMs (e.g., Amazon Q Developer, Bedrock, Claude) for code translation, documentation, or rule extraction.
  • Understanding of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns, vector databases, and agentic orchestration for code analysis pipelines.
  • Consulting or systems-integration experience.
