Position Description:
We are seeking a highly skilled and dynamic Integration Technical Lead to oversee and drive the engineering squads responsible for our mainframe-to-cloud data migration stream. This role demands a unique combination of deep technical versatility—spanning legacy mainframe architectures, mid-tier enterprise service buses (ESB), and cloud-native REST APIs—alongside strong people and work-management capabilities. As the Tech Lead, you will be responsible for translating high-level enterprise architecture designs into actionable engineering tasks, managing sprint delivery, and providing hands-on mentorship to a diverse team of Mainframe, ESB, and API developers. Implementation Project Context . This role is positioned at the execution core of a flagship, multi-year enterprise database migration and cloud transformation initiative. The program is modernizing how core business and customer data is exchanged by systematically migrating legacy mainframe environments to the AWS Cloud. . To achieve this without business disruption, our integration stream is building a high-throughput, near real-time data pathway. Legacy mainframe modules (COBOL, PL/I, CICS, DB2, JCL) are being refactored to push data into IBM MQ, which is then ingested, transformed, and routed by IBM ACE middleware, and finally exposed via modern enterprise REST APIs to downstream cloud applications. . As the Tech Lead, you will own the delivery velocity, technical quality, and cross-tier collaboration of the developers making this pipeline a reality.
Your future duties and responsibilities:
- Technical Delivery & Oversight . End-to-End Code Quality: Ensure high-quality, performant, and resilient engineering standards across the entire integration stack (Mainframe batch/online modules, IBM ACE message flows, and REST APIs). . Technical Bridge-Building: Serve as the primary technical point of contact to align data structures and logic between the Mainframe, ESB, and Cloud/API development teams. . Code Reviews & Design Validation: Conduct multi-disciplinary code reviews to ensure that refactored mainframe queues map perfectly to ESB transformation flows and target API contracts. . Problem Resolution: Act as the escalation point for complex technical blockages, integration bugs, and performance bottlenecks across the end-to-end data pipeline. Leadership & Work Management . Sprint & Backlog Management: Collaborate with Product Owners and Project Managers to break down architectural blueprints into clear, estimated user stories and technical tasks for the developers. . Resource Allocation: Manage the daily workload, sprint velocity, and task assignments for Mainframe, ESB, and API developers, ensuring proper alignment of skills to delivery milestones. . Team Mentorship & Growth: Foster a collaborative, DevOps-oriented culture within a traditionally siloed technical environment. Mentor developers across different disciplines to help them understand the broader end-to-end architecture. . Cross-Functional Liaison: Coordinate closely with the Senior Enterprise Architect, Cloud Infrastructure teams, and downstream business consumers to manage dependencies and release schedules.
