Job Description:

Broadcom Mainframe Software Division

Broadcom’s Mainframe Software Division (MSD #BroadcomSoftware) is looking for an excellent software engineer with a passion for building high quality applications using agile practices to join our development team working on the solutions in the area of Open Mainframe.

Mainframe systems are at the heart of the digital economy, with 80% of the world’s structured corporate data residing or originating on mainframes, and 55% of all enterprise applications hitting the mainframe to complete transactions. Our industry-leading products are critical to many Fortune 1000 companies.

Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Staff Software Engineer to join our team focused on the development and enhancement of Zowe CLI, Zowe Explorer and other Zowe client applications. Zowe is an open-source, industry-standard project that provides a modern interface for interaction with the z/OS mainframe. This role involves significant technical leadership, hands-on development, and collaboration within the Zowe open-source community and internal product teams. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in modern software development practices, a passion for improving the mainframe development experience, and a proven track record of delivering high-quality, scalable solutions.

Responsibilities

Technical Leadership and Architecture

  • Drive the technical direction and architectural evolution of Zowe CLI (Node.js/TypeScript), Zowe Explorer (VS Code extension) and other Zowe client applications (C/C++), ensuring alignment with Broadcom's product strategy and Zowe open-source best practices.
  • Serve as a technical expert and mentor for other engineers, guiding implementation, code reviews, and design discussions.
  • Identify and implement performance optimizations, scalability improvements, and architectural refactoring to enhance the user experience and maintainability of the tools.
  • Collaborate with product management and UX design to translate complex user requirements into robust technical specifications and practical implementation plans.

Development and Engineering

  • Design, develop, test, and maintain features for Zowe CLI and Zowe Explorer using modern programming languages and frameworks (primarily TypeScript, Node.js, AG Grid and React for VS Code webviews).
  • Implement command-line interfaces, REST API interactions, and seamless integration points with z/OS services (e.g., JES, MVS datasets, z/OSMF).
  • Ensure the security, reliability, and quality of the codebase through comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, utilizing continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex software defects, performance bottlenecks, and production issues in a timely manner.

Open Source and Community Engagement

  • Actively participate in the Zowe community as a contributor, committer, or maintainer, representing Broadcom's interests and contributing to the overall success of the project.
  • Collaborate with engineers from various companies and open-source contributors to define and implement common standards and features within Zowe.
  • Contribute to Zowe documentation, tutorials, and community efforts to promote adoption and provide technical assistance.

Qualifications

Required Skills and Experience

  • 8 or more years of experience in Mainframe software development or a related field.
  • Experience in several programming languages and frameworks, specifically, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C/C++ and Node.js-based applications.
  • Experience developing on Linux / Unix systems.
  • Demonstrated expertise in building and maintaining VS Code extensions using the VS Code Extension API, with a strong understanding of web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React/Vue/Angular).
  • Deep understanding of Command Line Interface (CLI) development best practices, including command parsing, user experience, and shell scripting integration.
  • Strong proficiency with version control systems (Git) and modern software development lifecycle practices, including Agile/Scrum methodologies.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex systems and identify root causes of issues.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, capable of working effectively with distributed teams and contributing to open-source projects.

Highly Desired Skills

  • Direct experience with Zowe CLI and Zowe Explorer development, customization, or advanced usage.
  • Experience or strong foundational knowledge of mainframe z/OS concepts, including MVS, JES, TSO/ISPF, and z/OSMF REST APIs.
  • Familiarity with other Zowe components (API Mediation Layer, Zowe Desktop, Zowe System Management Facility).
  • Experience with other relevant modern web frameworks and tools (e.g., Electron, OpenAPI/Swagger).
  • Prior experience contributing to or maintaining large-scale open-source software projects.

Education

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
