Job responsibilities
- 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.
- 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.
- Troubleshoot complex failures across the toolchain (processor failures, package conflicts, wrapper/API errors, Jenkins pipeline breaks, inventory drift), delivering RCA and implementing preventive fixes.
- Define, test, and execute backup/restore and DR procedures for Endevor repositories, critical datasets, and wrapper components, including routine DR exercises and validation evidence.
- Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate infrastructure analysis and design documentation, validating outputs and handling operational data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
- Applies reuse-first, AI-assisted approaches to identify recurring capacity risks and improve remediation workflows, ensuring changes are validated and aligned to resiliency and security expectations.
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Formal training or certification on infrastructure engineering concepts and 3+ years applied experience
- Endevor platform engineering: configure/operate CA-Endevor (inventory models, processors/generates, packages/promotion rules), perform upgrades/maintenance, and ensure stability/DR readiness.
- CI/CD delivery with Jenkins: build pipeline-as-code and shared libraries to automate build/test/promote flows, enforce sequencing, approvals, and environment-specific controls.
- API/CLI + custom wrapper enablement: develop and support versioned wrapper interfaces around Endevor APIs/CLI with consistent error handling, logging, and operational supportability.
- REXX & Python automation: create REXX utilities for z/OS-side operational automation and Python services/scripts for orchestration, integrations, evidence/metadata capture, and notifications.
- Security, traceability, and reliability: implement least-privilege access and audit logging (RACF/ACF2/TSS + Endevor), ensure end-to-end traceability (commit→build→package), and lead troubleshooting/RCA across Endevor/Jenkins/wrappers.
- Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to support infrastructure engineering workflows with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.
- Ability to review and validate AI-assisted recommendations before implementation, escalating when uncertain and ensuring outcomes align to resiliency, security, and auditability expectations.
- Strong knowledge of one or more scripting languages
- Experience with multiple cloud technologies (ability to operate in and migrate across public and private clouds)
