Experience implementing monitoring, alerting, and analytics for integration workflows using Control M Insights, Splunk, or equivalent observability tools. Hands-on experience implementing CI/CD pipelines for integration code using tools such as Git and Jenkins. Experience partnering with architecture teams to evolve traditional batch workloads into event driven or microservice based solutions. Experience supporting end-to-end integration across mainframe, on-premise, and cloud environments. Proven ability to collaborate with support teams to optimise batch schedules, reduce runtime bottlenecks, and consistently meet strict SLA windows. Strong experience integrating legacy applications with modern APIs and middleware platforms, with a focus on performance, reliability, and compliance. Demonstrated experience developing and supporting batch schedules, workflows, and dependencies using Control M for workload automation across mainframe and distributed environments. Proven experience designing, developing, and maintaining mainframe batch interfaces and processing jobs using COBOL, JCL, and DB2, supporting core banking and settlement platforms. Why join us?
