Role Overview

We are seeking a Lead Workload Automation Engineer / Architect to define and drive the enterprise architecture, strategy, and operational model for IBM Tivoli/IBM Workload Scheduler (TWS/IWS) across distributed environments (on-prem and cloud). This role sets platform standards and reference designs, leads modernization and major upgrades/migrations, governs reliability and security practices, and serves as the senior technical partner for application, databases, and infrastructure organizations to deliver resilient, scalable scheduling services for mission-critical workloads. In addition, assist and supervise two job scheduling teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end architecture for the TWS/IWS platform (components, topology, environments, integrations), including standards, patterns, and reference implementations.
  • Provide technical oversight for additional (3rd-party) job scheduling platforms where used; establish operating standards, integration patterns, and support processes to ensure consistent controls and reliability.
  • Lead enterprise-scale installations, upgrades, and migrations; define cutover/rollback strategies, coordinate change windows, and ensure readiness across dependent teams.
  • Lead assessments of legacy scheduler instances and batch frameworks to identify candidates for retirement, consolidation, or migration; produce target-state recommendations, sequencing/roadmaps, and risk-based migration plans.
  • Define reliability engineering practices for workload automation: availability targets, capacity planning, performance tuning, monitoring/alerting, and continuous improvement.

 

͏

Required Qualifications

  • Experience in enterprise workload automation, including 7+ years of hands-on IBM TWS/IWS/IWA administration in distributed environments.
  • For senior/lead equivalent roles, 8+ years of relevant ITSM/major incident operations experience may be required.
  • IT Technology Certification is a plus
  • Proven experience in a lead/architect capacity: defining platform standards/reference designs, guiding cross-team implementations, and making architecture decisions for reliability, scalability, and security.
  • Strong Linux/UNIX engineering and production troubleshooting experience, including performance and availability triage.
  • Advanced automation/scripting skills (shell plus Python and/or Perl) with experience building supported, maintainable operational tooling.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex incident response and root-cause analysis, and to drive preventative action through problem management.
  • Strong change leadership in regulated production environments (planning, risk management, implementation, validation, rollback) aligned with ITIL processes.
  • Excellent stakeholder communication and ability to influence across applications, database, infrastructure, and security teams.

 

͏

Preferred Qualifications

  • DB2 administration experience, including High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR); familiarity with Oracle/Postgres and SQL.
  • Experience with TWS/IWS integrations and APIs (REST/SOAP), event-based scheduling, and real-time/on-demand workload patterns.
  • Experience with Tivoli Dynamic Workload Console (TDWC/TDWB) and critical path monitoring.
  • Experience integrating file transfer solutions (e.g., SFTP/PGP/GPG, managed file transfer platforms) into batch workflows.
  • Experience with SAP and other enterprise application integrations via TWS extended agents.
  • Experience building dashboards/metrics and integrating with observability platforms (e.g., Grafana/Graphite).
  • Experience defining platform standards, leading upgrades/migrations, and coordinating cross-team delivery (e.g., change windows, cutovers, rollback planning).
  • Familiarity with cloud patterns and automation (e.g., infrastructure-as-code concepts, container/VM scheduling considerations) in support of workload modernization.
  • Hands-on experience across ITSM processes (Incident, Problem, Change, Knowledge) in an enterprise environment.
  • ServiceNow experience, including incident lifecycle management, documentation standards, and reporting.
  • Working knowledge of ITIL concepts and IT service management best practices.
  • Artificial Intelligence – Navigating all the AI APP – know how to communicate with it and know when not to use it when it does not meet your or the companies’ expectations
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to investigate issues and drive resolution.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks in a high-volume, high-urgency operations environment.
