  • Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve issues in GenAI-powered code translation pipelines
  • Collaborate with dev and client teams to ensure alignment with project goals and deliver high-quality solutions
  • Maintain and fine-tune RAG application that supports the migration process, specifically optimizing LLM prompts for pattern recognition
  • Build and maintain FastAPI-based microservices that orchestrate the migration workflow
  • Implement RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems using LangChain /Langgraph/LlamaIndex for contextual code understanding
  • Design stateful migration workflows using LangGraph/LangChain/LlamaIndex for complex multi-step transformations
  • Mandatory work from the office 5 days per week
Skills

Must have

  • Proficiency in Python development (5+ years), with specific expertise in:
  • FastAPI for building high-performance REST APIs and WebSocket connections
  • Async programming patterns for handling concurrent migration tasks
  • Pydantic for robust data validation in migration pipelines
  • Experience with vector embeddings and embedding models
  • Vector database implementation for semantic search
  • Graph database experience for code dependency mapping
  • Building agents for code analysis, implementing custom tools for mainframe-specific transformations, creating chains for multi-step code migration
  • Orchestrating stateful workflows for complex migration scenarios, managing checkpoints for long-running migrations, implementing conditional routing based on code patterns
  • Building knowledge bases from documentation, implementing hybrid search for code pattern matching, creating custom retrievers for language specific contexts
  • Implementing similarity search and semantic code retrieval systems
  • Graph traversal algorithms for dependency analysis
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills for identifying translation anomalies and semantic preservation issues
  • Excellent communication skills for collaboration with client teams and explaining complex technical translations

Nice to have

  • Deep understanding of HLASM instruction sets, macro definitions, and DSECT mappings
  • COBOL and PL/I for understanding integrated mainframe systems
  • Assembly language debugging and performance optimization
  • Mainframe utilities (DFSORT, IEBGENER, IDCAMS)
  • Experience with mainframe subsystems: CICS transactions, DB2 stored procedures, JCL batch processing
  • Knowledge of z/OS internals, linkage conventions, and program calling standards
  • Familiarity with EBCDIC to ASCII conversion, packed decimal (COMP-3) handling
  • Experience in front-end development (preferably React) for building migration dashboards and progress monitoring interfaces
  • Experience in Java development, particularly Spring Boot, to understand target architecture requirements
  • Familiarity with large-scale system migrations and modernization efforts, including phased migration strategies and dual-run validation
  • Prior experience working in the banking or financial services industry, understanding core banking concepts, regulatory requirements, and transaction processing
  • Knowledge of performance tuning and optimization in cloud environments, including auto-scaling strategies and cost optimization
