## About the Role

Senior Leader with 15+ years of Telecom OSS infrastructure experience, including leadership of large, cross-functional modernization programs. Deep technical expertise in TIRKS circuit provisioning lifecycles.

Strong IBM Mainframe skills (z/OS, JCL, IMS, VSAM, CICS).

Hands-on modern architecture experience (APIs, microservices, AWS/Azure).

Master of SQL, data modeling, and enterprise ETL migration tools.

Proven mainframe modernization experience - led or architected at least one largescale legacy modernization program using a tiered disposition model (retire, re-host, replatform, AI-assisted refactor, replace-with-COTS).

Familiarity with real-time API enablement patterns (z/OS Connect, CICS Transaction Gateway, MQ-based request/reply) and data replication / CDC approaches (e.g., Debezium, Db2) is strongly preferred.

Applied Gen-AI tooling for modernization - hands-on experience using generative AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q Developer / CodeWhisperer, Claude, or equivalent) for legacy code comprehension, COBOL/JCL analysis and autodocumentation, test-case generation, and AI-assisted refactoring.

Must be able to define where AI accelerates delivery and where human-in-the-loop (HITL) review and validation are mandatory.

Degree in Computer Science, Telecom, or Network Engineering.

## Description

1. System Transformation - Map and migrate legacy TIRKS mainframe systems to cloudor service-based platforms.
 2. Interface Deconstruction - Rewire complex integrations between TIRKS and adjacent
modules such as SWITCH, FACS, WFA, and SOAC.

 3. Data Migration - Oversee extraction and validation of critical network inventory, CFAs,
and trunk line data.

 4. AI-Assisted Modernization - Establish and govern the use of Gen-AI tooling across
the modernization lifecycle: reverse-engineering undocumented logic, generating
design and test artifacts, and accelerating code refactoring - with appropriate
guardrails, review gates, and quality controls.
