The company is looking to develop and support complex software applications in a mainframe environment, requiring technical expertise in COBOL, DB2, CICS, and related technologies, as well as performance tuning and capacity planning to optimize system efficiency.
Requirements
- Demonstrated Expertise (“DE”) designing, developing, and supporting batch and online applications using mainframe technologies -- COBOL, DB2, CICS, Cloud to CICS, JCL and VSAM files.
- DE performing mainframe application development and performance tuning within Time Sharing Option (TSO) and Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) operating system environments; developing mainframe applications using Endevor, Git, ClearCase for version control, and Control-M for scheduling; debugging applications using Abend-AID and interest; managing and browsing files using File-Aid; generating reports using Easytrieve; and conducting performance tuning and capacity planning -- reducing I/Os, CPU Time, MSUs, and MIPs, using Strobe, iStrobe, Platinum Detector, and TMON.
- DE creating Informatica workflows between mainframe and distributed applications; performing Shell Scripting using Unix and Linux; and analyzing and designing data flows for mainframe and Web based financial services application development.
- DE designing, developing, maintaining, and enhancing software applications using J2EE technologies, NODEJS, Spring framework, Oracle SQL and DevOps tools, while adhering to Agile software methodologies.
- mainframe and distributed technologies
Responsibilities
- Provides technical support in a mainframe environment and develops applications using COBOL, DB2, CICS, Cloud to CICS, JCL, MQ-Series, SQL, and Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) files.
- Executes mainframe performance tuning and capacity planning, including ways to reduce Input/Output (I/O) operations, Central Processing Unit (CPU) time, Million Service Units (MSUs), and Million Instructions per Second (MIPS), by using performance tools -- Strobe, iStrobe, and Platinum Detector.
- Writes concise and clear technical specifications using distributed languages -- Extract, Transform, Load (ETL), Informatica, Java, XML, and Python.
- Manages application file access using scheduling tools (Control-M) and file formatting tools (File-AID).
- Debugs and reproduces application issues in lower development environments using unit testing tools -- Intertest and Abend-AID.
- Provides business solutions by developing complex software applications.
- Designs applications or subsystems on major projects and for/in multiple platforms.
Other
- Bachelor’s degree (or foreign education equivalent) in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, Mathematics, Physics, or a closely related field and three (3) years of experience as a Senior Software Engineer/Developer (or closely related occupation) developing and supporting software applications using mainframe and distributed technologies in a financial services domain.
- Master’s degree (or foreign education equivalent) in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, Mathematics, Physics, or a closely related field and one (1) year of experience as a Senior Software Engineer/Developer (or closely related occupation) developing and supporting software applications using mainframe and distributed technologies in a financial services domain.
- Most roles at Fidelity are Hybrid, requiring associates to work onsite every other week (all business days, M-F) in a Fidelity office. This does not apply to Remote or fully Onsite roles.
- Fidelity’s business is governed by the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, ERISA, numerous state laws governing securities, investment and retirement-related financial activities and the rules and regulations of numerous self-regulatory organizations, including FINRA, among others. Those laws and regulations may restrict Fidelity from hiring and/or associating with individuals with certain Criminal Histories.
