About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Mainframe DevOps Architect to lead solution design and own end-to-end architecture for enterprise customers-translating complex business requirements into robust technical roadmaps that amplify the value of their mainframe investments.

This role sits alongside Senior Consultants in our delivery track. Rather than primarily executing individual workstreams, the Senior Architect establishes the overall technical direction, sets architectural standards for the delivery team, and serves as the primary technical escalation point for both the customer and internal stakeholders. As a premier technical strategist, you will combine a depth of broad, real-world experience with IT industry-specific certifications to drive enterprise-wide DevOps and/or platform engineering transformations.

Leveraging specialized knowledge in Endevor (and/or other competitive solutions), Zowe, and/or REXX scripting, you will design frameworks that bridge traditional mainframe environments with modern enterprise practices. If you thrive on driving architectural innovation, defining repeatable design patterns, and guiding Global 2000 mainframe organizations through critical technical evolutions, this position offers the scope and autonomy to shape the future of mainframe DevOps.

Note: Ability to travel to client sites is required for this position.

CUSTOMER FOCUS & STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
  • End-to-End Solution Architecture:Own the comprehensive solution architecture for enterprise customer engagements involving Broadcom mainframe software products and modern DevOps frameworks.
  • Architecture & Design Workshops:Lead interactive design workshops with customer technical, business, and executive stakeholders to map out multi-phase implementation roadmaps.
  • Relationship & Portfolio Alignment: Build deep, trusted relationships across the customer's IT leadership silos to evaluate complex environments (z/OS, security frameworks, and subsystems), proactively identifying architectural risks and integration dependencies.
  • Pre-Sales & Engagement Scoping: Partner closely with Broadcom Account Teams during early-stage discovery to technically qualify opportunities; and work with Services Sales leads to estimate level of effort (LOE), and provide technical input for crafting of proposals and Statements of Work (SOWs) in collaboration with the contracts focal.
  • Value Positioning & Differentiators: Effectively present high-level solution blueprints and key competitive differentiators to executive audiences, ensuring proposed architectures align tightly with client business objectives.


ARCHITECTURAL STRATEGY, DESIGN, & EXECUTION
  • Blueprint Design & Specification:Produce detailed, robust technical specifications, integration approaches, and architecture blueprints suitable for both execution teams and executive stakeholders.
  • Technical Leadership & Delivery Direction:Provide overarching technical direction to consultants and senior consultants executing against the architecture, ensuring consistency, quality, and structural integrity across all workstreams.
  • Standardization & Pattern Reusability:Identify opportunities to build reusable architecture patterns, frameworks, and deployment templates to continuously mature Broadcom's consulting methodologies.
  • Primary Technical Escalation:Serve as the final technical tier for complex, cross-system environment challenges encountered during implementation, driving critical issue resolution and root-cause analysis.
  • Modernization & Migration Strategy:Architect migration paths from legacy or competitive products to modern Endevor implementation approaches, establishing the overarching strategy for upgrades and software design shifts.


TECHNICAL SKILL & DOMAIN EXPERTISE
  • Architectural Ecosystem Expertise:Expert-level knowledge of Endevor (and/or competitor) concepts, practices, and core components (including ACM, PDM, Security Interface, and Quick Edit) with the ability to design highly tailored inventory structures, lifecycle flows, and integration strategies across modern CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, Git/Enterprise Git) and scripting languages (Python, Groovy, Gulp).
  • Tooling, Languages & Subsystems:Proficient with REXX scripting and JCL, alongside modern mainframe DevOps tools - including Zowe (Zowe CLI, API/ML, Code4z extensions like Explorer for Endevor and Zowe Explorer) and testing suites (InterTest, File Master Plus, SymDump) - with a strong understanding of how these practices integrate with core subsystems (e.g., CICS, DB2, security software) and hybrid cloud architectures.
  • Market & Competitive Intelligence: Maintain a thorough understanding of the competitive marketplace to architect clear technical advantages over legacy alternatives.


LEADERSHIP, MENTORSHIP & COMMUNICATION
  • Consulting Team Mentorship:Actively mentor consultants and senior consultants on architecture principles, complex design trade-offs, and professional services best practices.
  • Requirement Translation: Translate ambiguous, high-level business goals into concrete, structured technical requirements and execution objectives.
  • Stakeholder Alignment:Serve as the technical lead on engagements, partnering closely with the Broadcom Project Manager and client stakeholders to align on technical expectations, communicate architectural progress, and highlight technical dependencies.


REQUIREMENTS
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline (Computer Science, Information Systems, or Engineering) combined with 8+ years of experience working with IBM mainframe environments (z/OS), with clear demonstrated experience leading the solution architecture and technical direction of multi-workstream enterprise DevOps engagements.
