When you walk through our doors, you're not only joining a team but you're also becoming part of a legacy. Welcome to Kyndryl, where Cybersecurity isn't just a job - it's a passion; a commitment to designing, running, and managing the most modern and reliable technology infrastructure that the world depends on every day.

We are seeking a Mainframe USC Support Specialist to assist teams and manage critical processes related to USC focal environments. This role requires strong technical expertise in mainframe systems, excellent communication skills, and the ability to handle multiple tasks across different accounts.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assist teams with installing the extractor tool and transferring files to USC focal environments.
  • Collect required data for FTP ID requests and permissions.
  • Update USC focal files to enable new accounts and customize parameters as needed.
  • Run jobs to generate health check reports and send them to security focal points.
  • Respond to inquiries in group chats and manage emails in the NAUSCADM mailbox.
  • Attend USC-related meetings and collaborate with project managers.
  • Perform upgrades and create test instances for USC focal environments.
  • Manage ownership transfer of USC-related groups, users, and resources.
