Hogan Mainframe Developer Senior

Role Overview
This is a senior Hogan IDS support and problem management role supporting deposit applications. We're looking for someone who can investigate production issues, perform root cause analysis, advise development teams, and serve as a trusted subject matter expert. This is not a hands-on application development role and not a Java-focused position. That positioning should help significantly reduce the volume of unqualified Hogan keyword-stuffed resumes Erin has been seeing.
