• Follow strong change management discipline across production systems.
• Communicate clearly with clients, project teams and technical stakeholders.
• Document automation logic, procedures and changes.

• Experience across several of the following areas:
• z/OS and subsystem knowledge
• Systems automation and NetView
• REXX scripting and automation engineering
• Troubleshooting and production recovery

• Ability to work independently in complex enterprise environments.
• Based in Brazil, with the option to work from the Campinas office or remotely.

What’s on Offer

• Salary of up to $60,000 USD per year, depending on experience.
• Flexible hybrid or fully remote working within Brazil.
• Full-time position with a global leader in IT infrastructure services.
• Specialist work in one of the most in-demand niches in the mainframe market.
