Site Reliability Engineer (Mainframe)
About The Position
In this role, you will work directly under the mentorship of Lead DevOps/SRE Engineers to help transition our legacy Release Management practices into a state-of-the-art automated pipeline. You will gain hands-on experience with both Mainframe (Cobol, RPG) and server-based (Java, .NET) environments, playing a vital role in our journey toward application containerization and automated delivery. This is a unique opportunity to learn "Hybrid DevOps." While many roles focus solely on the cloud, you will become a rare specialist capable of managing the intersection of high-scale mainframe systems and modern containerized microservices. You will be mentored by industry veterans and given a clear roadmap for career progression into a SRE/DevOps Engineer role. This role is with our Horizon team.
