Job Specifications

No sponsorship or thirty party at this time. Must be W2.

Summary – Mainframe & IBM Guardium Role

Must-have qualifications for a niche role supporting IBM Guardium in a mainframe environment.

Core Skill Requirements

The most critical requirement is solid mainframe experience. Candidates must be comfortable navigating and working within a mainframe environment.
Exposure to database activity monitoring is important, specifically concepts around database logging or event monitoring.
IBM Guardium expertise is preferred. A candidate does not need to be a Guardium SME, as long as they have the foundational background to learn it.
A candidate who is strong in Guardium but has no mainframe experience will not be a fit.
The role requires understanding how the z/OS Guardium agent extracts database activity (DB2, IMS, etc.) and how the Linux-based Guardium collector receives, processes, and forwards that data to the cyber team.
The ideal candidate can act as a liaison, effectively “speaking multiple languages” across mainframe, databases, Linux, and security tooling.

Potential Backgrounds That Could Work

A z/OS systems programmer with experience installing software and exposure to database logging.
A database-focused professional (DB2, IMS) with experience in database administration, logging, or event monitoring.
Some level of database logging or monitoring experience is required, regardless of background.
