Job description

  • Design and deliver tailored IBM Power infrastructure solutions by translating requirements into resilient architectures and validated implementations.
  • Install, configure, test, tune, and support IBM Power environments with a focus on robustness, performance, and operational excellence.
  • Drive continuous systems tuning and analysis, validate service performance, and ensure requirements are met through disciplined testing and evidence-based results.
  • Lead and execute integration testing, complex troubleshooting, and POCs to evaluate new capabilities and methods for managing IBM Power infrastructure.
  • Raise engineering standards through automation, repeatable runbooks, and improved observability; mentor engineers and collaborate across roles to deliver shared outcomes.
  • 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 practices within delivery and automation routines to identify recurring issues and validate remediation options, ensuring changes are traceable/auditable and aligned to resiliency and security expectations.
  • Works with other platforms to architect and implement changes required to resolve issues and modernize the organization and its technology processes
  • Executes creative solutions for the design, development, and technical troubleshooting for problems of moderate complexity
  • Strongly considers upstream/downstream data and systems or technical implications and advises on mitigation actions
