Eligible for BPSS

We are looking for an experienced Mainframe Datacom Engineer/DBA to support an established Broadcom (CA) Datacom environment running on IBM z/OS.

This is a hands-on technical role requiring a specialist who can hit the ground running, take ownership of BAU activities and independently diagnose and resolve database issues with minimal training or supervision.

Key Responsibilities:

• Administer and maintain Broadcom/CA Datacom databases on IBM z/OS.
• Diagnose and resolve complex database and platform issues.
• Perform database backup, recovery, restoration and administration.
• Troubleshoot database performance and query-related issues.
• Support Datacom patching, fixes, maintenance and validation.
• Carry out root cause analysis and implement permanent fixes.
• Provide technical support to application, operations and infrastructure teams.
• Take ownership of existing BAU Datacom activities.

Essential Experience:

• Strong hands-on Broadcom/CA Datacom DBA or System Programming experience.
• Extensive IBM z/OS and JCL knowledge.
• Experience with database backup, recovery and performance tuning.
• Practical Datacom patching and maintenance experience.
• Proven ability to independently troubleshoot and resolve technical issues.
• Experience supporting enterprise-scale production Datacom environments.
• Spanish language skills.
• Availability to work Mexico-aligned hours.

Important:

This is a specialist BAU support role, not a production monitoring or Datacom-to-DB2 migration position. We need someone with genuine hands-on Datacom expertise who can take ownership and deliver from day one.
