She Recruits LLC
Lead z/OS Systems Programmer
Locations: Jersey City, NJ Pittsburgh, PA Lake Mary, FL (Orlando area)
Employment Type: Full-Time Work Environment: Hybrid – 3 Days Onsite Required Compensation: Jersey City, NJ: $165,000 – $170,000 Pittsburgh, PA: $140,000 – $150,000 Lake Mary, FL: $140,000 – $150,000 Annual Bonus + Comprehensive Benefits Package
She Recruits is representing a Lead z/OS Systems Programmer opportunity supporting enterprise-level mainframe environments for a highly respected financial institution.
This is not a maintenance-level role. This is a senior, leadership-focused systems programming position designed for someone who understands mainframe internals at a deep technical level and can guide others while doing so.
Position Overview
The Lead z/OS Systems Programmer will serve as both a technical authority and a mentor within a large-scale enterprise mainframe environment. This role focuses on z/OS internals, product installation, performance optimization, and complex system debugging.
You will be expected to bring strong leadership presence, hands-on systems expertise, and the ability to support mission-critical infrastructure in a high-availability financial environment.
Core Responsibilities
• Lead z/OS systems programming initiatives across enterprise platforms • Install, configure, and support IBM and CA z/OS products • Provide technical mentorship and supervisory guidance to junior staff • Analyze and tune mainframe performance • Perform I/O configuration and optimization • Develop and maintain user exits (REXX, COBOL, BAL/Assembler) • Troubleshoot and debug complex system-level issues • Support system upgrades, enhancements, and lifecycle planning • Maintain system stability, availability, and compliance standards
Required Expertise
• Proven experience as a Lead z/OS Systems Programmer • Deep understanding of z/OS internals • Strong product installation and support experience (IBM and CA products) • I/O configuration expertise • Mainframe performance monitoring and tuning experience • Advanced debugging skills • Experience developing user exits (REXX, COBOL, Assembler) • Demonstrated leadership or supervisory experience
Ideal Candidate Profile
This role is best suited for someone who: • Operates confidently at the systems internals level • Has led technical teams or mentored junior programmers • Understands enterprise financial environments • Thrives in hybrid collaborative environments • Can balance hands-on technical work with leadership responsibility
Why This Role Stands Out
• True leadership-level z/OS role • Enterprise-scale mainframe environment • Strong compensation aligned with geography • Annual bonus structure • Hybrid flexibility • Exceptional benefits package
