IBM Mainframe Connectivity and Session Management SME
Kestrel Eight has partnered with a global enterprise technology vendor to deliver a large-scale mainframe tooling modernisation program for a major Australian Government client.
We are looking for a connectivity and session management specialist to lead this stream of the program.
The prospect
You will lead the migration of the client's mainframe file transfer and terminal session management tooling to a modern IBM enterprise platform, covering requirements validation, design, migration execution, test input and training delivery to the client's operations team.
This is a focused stream with a clear scope, well suited to a practitioner who knows managed file transfer and session management on z/OS and has taken that tooling through a conversion rather than only running it.
What you will do
Validate technical requirements for file transfer and session management.
Design and build the migration and deployment approach.




Execute migration and deployment.
Support test planning and execution.
Train client operations staff on the new tooling.
What you will bring
Experience with mainframe file transfer tooling, including managed file transfer platforms or equivalent CA/Broadcom tools.
Experience with terminal session management or access tools.
A track record of a tool migration or conversion, not just administration.
Current NV1 (or above) security clearance and Australian citizenship.
Well Regarded
Mainframe network monitoring exposure.
