Job Description

Work Setup: Remote, Mexico-aligned working hours

Contract End Date / Length: 30 November 2026 (expected to be extended)

Rate: £623–£674

Languages: English; Spanish preferred

Our client is looking for a Mainframe Datacom Engineer to provide hands-on BAU support and technical ownership of an existing CA Datacom environment on IBM z/OS. The role runs alongside a wider modernisation programme and focuses on maintaining and supporting the current Datacom estate, rather than production monitoring or a Datacom-to-DB2 migration.

What you will do:

  • Administer and maintain Broadcom Datacom databases on z/OS.
  • Diagnose, troubleshoot and resolve Datacom database issues independently.
  • Carry out backup, restore and recovery, and database administration and structuring.
  • Diagnose and resolve database and query performance issues.
  • Perform and support Datacom fixes, patching, patch validation and maintenance.
  • Provide Datacom technical consultancy and support to applications and users.
  • Carry out root cause analysis and implement permanent fixes.
  • Take ownership of BAU Datacom activities transferred from the existing team.
  • Work with application, operations and infrastructure teams to maintain service stability.
  • Produce and maintain technical documentation and operational procedures.

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong hands-on Broadcom Datacom or CA Datacom DBA experience.
  • A proven ability to diagnose and fix Datacom issues, not only monitor and escalate them.
  • Strong experience in backup and recovery, database administration, restoration and performance or query tuning.
  • Hands-on Datacom patching, maintenance and system programming experience.
  • Strong IBM z/OS and JCL knowledge.
  • Experience supporting enterprise-scale production Datacom environments.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal training or supervision.
  • Strong troubleshooting, analysis and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work Mexico-aligned hours.

Preferred:

  • Spanish language capability, particularly for working with Spanish-speaking users and team members.
  • CICS, COBOL and wider mainframe application knowledge.
  • Banking or financial services experience.
  • Db2 knowledge (advantageous, not required).
  • Experience in regulated enterprise environments.

Qualifications

  • Hands-on Broadcom or CA Datacom DBA experience.
  • Strong IBM z/OS and JCL knowledge.
  • Experience supporting enterprise-scale production Datacom environments.
  • English fluency, with Spanish preferred.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • 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.
