About Anchor Software, LLC
Anchor Software is a forward-thinking technology company specializing in enterprise-grade solutions and legacy system optimization. We help organizations maintain and modernize mission-critical mainframe environments while integrating with modern technologies. Our focus is on performance, reliability, and long-term scalability.


We’re looking for a Lead Mainframe Developer who can take ownership of complex systems, lead technical direction, and help bridge traditional mainframe infrastructure with modern development practices.


Role Overview
As a Lead Mainframe Developer, you will be responsible for the architecture, development, and optimization of IBM mainframe systems. You’ll play a key role in both maintaining legacy applications and driving modernization efforts, including integration with distributed systems and newer technologies.


Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the design, development, and maintenance of mainframe applications.
  • Develop and support both batch and online systems (CICS environments).
  • Write, modify, and optimize JCL for batch processing and job scheduling.
  • Work with VSAM datasets and manage data access strategies.
  • Develop and maintain low-level system components using Assembler (HLASM).
  • Utilize IBM utilities for system operations, data management, and optimization.
  • Integrate mainframe systems with external applications using modern languages like C and C++.
  • Troubleshoot system issues, optimize performance, and ensure high availability.
  • Mentor developers and enforce coding standards and best practices.
Required Skills & Experience
  • Advanced experience with:
    • CICS (Customer Information Control System)
    • TSO/ISPF
    • JCL (Job Control Language)
    • VSAM
  • Strong programming experience in:
    • Assembler / HLASM
    • C and C++ (especially in mainframe or systems-level integrations)
  • Deep understanding of z/OS architecture and environments
  • Experience with IBM utilities (DFSORT, IDCAMS, IEBCOPY, etc.)
  • Strong debugging, performance tuning, and system-level troubleshooting skills
  • Proven leadership experience in a mainframe development environment
Nice-to-Have Skills
  • Experience with DB2, IMS, or other mainframe databases
  • Familiarity with API enablement or mainframe modernization tools
  • Exposure to hybrid architectures (mainframe + cloud/distributed systems)
  • Understanding of DevOps practices in legacy environments
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Flexible remote work environment
  • High-impact role influencing critical systems
  • Opportunity to modernize and innovate within a stable infrastructure
  • Collaborative and efficient team environment
Why Join Anchor Software?
At Anchor Software, you’ll do more than maintain legacy systems—you’ll evolve them. We’re building a bridge between traditional mainframe reliability and modern software development, and this role is at the center of that transformation.

This is a remote position.
