Responsibilities

• Configure VS Code and Zowe CLI extensions to provide secure REST access to z/OS (Mainframe) datasets and utilities.

• Collaborate with system engineers to prototype utilizing z/OS USS (Unix System Services) in cloud integration scripts and running Java workloads on z/OS.
• Create Git migration runbooks and host quick-start sessions to onboard mainframe development teams.
