Description

Summary: This role involves mainframe infrastructure engineering, focusing on CA-Endevor administration, CI/CD integration, automation with Python and REXX, and ensuring robust security and operational health. Highlights: 1. Own CA-Endevor platform administration and configuration across dev/test/prod 2. Engineer and govern the Endevor inventory model aligned to SDLC 3. Implement and support Jenkins pipelines that invoke Endevor via API/CLI wrappers **JOB DESCRIPTION** Technical responsibilities — Mainframe Infrastructure Engineer (CA\-Endevor \+ CI/CD; API/CLI \+ custom wrappers; REXX \& Python) * Own **CA\-Endevor platform administration and configuration** across dev/test/prod: tasks/STCs, repository connectivity, libraries, SMP/E maintenance, upgrades, and currency management. * Engineer and govern the **Endevor inventory model** (environments/systems/subsystems/types/stages/mappings) aligned to SDLC, release governance, and separation of duties. * Configure and maintain **processors / generate procedures** to enable deterministic builds (compile/link/edit flows, copybook/include handling, and middleware hooks such as DB2/CICS/IMS where applicable). * Build and maintain **Endevor automation interfaces** using supported **APIs/CLI** plus **custom wrapper services/scripts**, including versioning, backward compatibility, error contracts, and usage standards. * Develop **Python automation and wrapper tooling** to orchestrate Endevor lifecycle actions (create/update packages, move/generate/promote), capture metadata/evidence, integrate with approvals, and publish results to downstream systems. * Develop **REXX utilities** for z/OS\-side automation (inventory queries, dataset/member validation, job/JCL generation, operational tooling, exception reporting), integrating with wrapper interfaces where needed. * Implement and support **Jenkins pipelines (pipeline\-as\-code)** that invoke Endevor via **API/CLI wrappers**, manage credentials securely, submit/monitor batch steps when required, and enforce promotion sequencing. * Define and enforce **quality gates and policy controls** in pipelines: compile success, test execution where feasible, static analysis, dependency checks, and required approvals before promote. * Implement **traceability and provenance** end\-to\-end: map commit/build IDs to Endevor element/package identifiers, capture promotion history, label builds/releases, and support audit evidence retrieval. * Administer **security controls** across Endevor \+ wrappers (RACF/ACF2/TSS \+ Endevor ACLs): least privilege, privileged access management patterns, and audit logging for API/CLI actions. * Monitor and tune **Endevor operational health and performance**: task health, API/CLI throughput, contention/ENQs, backlog/queue behavior, repository growth, and recovery procedures. * Troubleshoot complex failures across the toolchain (processor failures, package conflicts, wrapper/API errors, Jenkins pipeline breaks, inventory drift), delivering **RCA** and implementing preventive fixes. * Maintain **documentation and standards**: API/CLI wrapper contracts, REXX/Python code standards, pipeline templates, runbooks, DR procedures, and onboarding guidance for application teams. * Define, test, and execute **backup/restore and DR** procedures for Endevor repositories, critical datasets, and wrapper components, including routine DR exercises and validation evidence. **ABOUT US** J.P.
