Description and Requirements

BMC empowers nearly 80% of the Forbes Global 100 to accelerate business value, faster than humanly possible. Our industry-leading portfolio unlocks human and machine potential to drive business growth, innovation, and sustainable success. BMC does this in a simple and optimized way by connecting people, systems, and data that power the world’s largest organizations so they can seize a competitive advantage.

The IZOT product line includes BMC’s Intelligent Z Optimization & Transformation products, which help the world’s largest companies to monitor and manage their mainframe systems. The modernization of mainframe is the beating heart of our product line, and we achieve this goal by developing products that improve the developer experience, the mainframe integration, the speed of application development, the quality of the code and the applications’ security, while reducing operational costs and risks. We acquired several companies along the way, and we continue to grow, innovate, and perfect our solutions on an ongoing basis.

BMC is looking for an experienced z/OS Systems Programmer with 5 to 10 years of hands-on technical expertise to join our Mainframe Infrastructure team. The primary focus of this role is to ensure the stability, security, and high performance of our core IBM Z operating systems and subsystems. While this role relies heavily on traditional, deep systems programming capabilities, the ideal candidate will also have the opportunity to participate in and support our ongoing mainframe modernization

Here is how, through this exciting role, YOU will contribute to BMC's and your own success:

OS Installation & Maintenance: Lead the installation, configuration, customization, and migration of z/OS operating systems and related IBM software using SMP/E processing.
System Customization: Manage system initialization (IPL parameters), Parmlib/Proclib configurations, and master catalog management.
Sysplex Management: Maintain and support Parallel Sysplex environments, including Coupling Facility (CF) structures and Shared DASD configurations.
Subsystem Support: Provide systems-level administration and configuration for core components, including JES2, DFSMS, TSO/E, and ISPF.
Automation & Scripting: Develop, debug, and maintain system automation scripts and utilities using Python, Ansible, REXX, CLIST, and JCL.
Problem Determination: Perform root-cause analysis on system failures.
Production Support: Participate in an on-call rotation to provide Tier-3 technical support for critical production infrastructure issues.

To ensure you’re set up for success, you will bring the following skillset & experience:

Experience: 5 to 10 years of solid, hands-on experience as a z/OS Systems Programmer in an enterprise production environment.
Software Management: Proven, deep knowledge of SMP/E for software installation, patching, and maintenance.
Core Architecture: Comprehensive understanding of z/OS architecture, IPL sequences, and Unix System Services (USS).
Tooling: Practical experience with system utilities and performance monitoring tools (e.g., BMC AMI tools, RMF, or equivalent).
Scripting: Strong proficiency in writing and maintaining Python, REXX and JCL.
Experience with z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF) workflows and software management deployment.
Familiarity with infrastructure automation via Ansible for IBM Z or Python on z/OS.
Knowledge of integrating mainframe environments into modern DevOps CI/CD pipelines

Whilst these are nice to have, our team can help you develop in the following skills:

Strong analytical and troubleshooting mind with high attention to operational stability.
Clear verbal and written communication skills to articulate technical issues during incident bridges.
Collaborative mindset to work across siloed infrastructure, security, and application engineering teams.
