Job Opportunity: Senior Mainframe Developer (DXC Insurance Platforms)
Contract-to-Hire | Remote
Overview:
Our client is seeking a Senior Mainframe Developer to join a critical technology team supporting core insurance administration platforms and modernizing legacy applications. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on maintaining business-critical systems while helping bridge traditional mainframe environments with modern cloud-based technologies.
Role Purpose:
The Senior Mainframe Developer will play a key role in developing, enhancing, and supporting core insurance applications built on DXC platforms. Working closely with engineering and product teams, this individual will contribute to modernization initiatives, troubleshoot complex production issues, and help integrate legacy applications with modern technologies.
This role combines traditional mainframe development, production support, and modern integration work, making it ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges while remaining actively involved in coding.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop, maintain, and enhance COBOL-based insurance applications
- Support business-critical batch processing and production environments
- Participate in an on-call support rotation
- Investigate and resolve production issues through code analysis and remediation
- Perform performance tuning and optimization activities
- Support application upgrades and migration initiatives
- Develop and maintain integrations between legacy and modern platforms
- Collaborate with engineering and product teams to deliver enhancements and operational improvements
- Contribute to modernization efforts leveraging cloud technologies and APIs
Experience Requirements:
- Strong hands-on COBOL development experience
- Previous experience supporting DXC insurance applications, particularly DSS
- Experience diagnosing and resolving issues directly within the codebase
- Production support experience, including batch processing environments
- Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation
- Experience with DB2 and enterprise mainframe environments
- Insurance industry experience is highly desirable
- Exposure to cloud technologies, APIs, and modern development practices is a plus
Technology Environment:
- COBOL
- DB2
- Endevor
- JCL / Batch Processing
- DSS
- CyberLife
- Vantage
- Jets
- Python
- React
- PostgreSQL
- AWS
Why This Role Stands Out:
This is an opportunity to work on business-critical insurance platforms while playing an active role in modernizing legacy systems. Developers will gain exposure to both established mainframe technologies and modern cloud-based solutions, helping shape the evolution of a complex enterprise environment.
For engineers who enjoy hands-on development, solving challenging production issues, and bridging the gap between legacy and modern architectures, this role offers strong ownership, technical variety, and long-term impact.
