Job Summary
We are hiring a technically strong instructor to deliver a structured, hands-on bootcamp on Application Modernization for cohorts of Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) and a broader mix of architects, technical practitioners, and consulting professionals. The 5-day program covers portfolio discovery, mainframe (IBM Z) modernization, hyperscaler target architectures (Azure-led, with AWS and GCP coexistence), application refactoring, and agentic AI accelerated delivery. Cohorts progress through taught sessions, paired and individual labs, and a capstone where teams use Agent Builder to compress a real client modernization scenario end-to-end.
This is a delivery role that combines hands-on technical fluency with strong facilitation. The instructor runs sessions, walks every lab in parallel with participants, debugs participant environments live, coaches groups through the capstone, and judges final presentations. Success in the role depends equally on the ability to teach conceptually at pace and to recover smoothly from the inevitable lab and environment failures that occur in live delivery.
This is an active, evolving program. Instructors are expected to contribute observations, fixes, and improvements with every cohort they run
Program at a Glance
- Day 1 – Discover and Assess: Application Modernization Intelligence (AMI), portfolio assessment, 6R/7R disposition.
- Day 2 – Design and Roadmap: zCloud / IBM Z as a Service (AP×Q), modernize on / with / off, hyperscaler coexistence, DC relocation, Z DevOps target architecture.
- Day 3 – Execute on the Mainframe: Stand up a zCloud pattern (replatform / refactor / coexist), articulate the AP×Q value story.
- Day 4 – Execute the Application Estate: Containerization, microservices refactor, CI/CD, ADEC / AppCOE / AMS handover.
- Day 5 – Agent Accelerated Delivery and Capstone: Agent Builder propositions across agentic SDLC, legacy code analysis, doc and test generation, DB migration, and UI/UX transformation.
Required Technical Skills The instructor will debug participant environments live in front of the cohort. Fluency, not awareness, is required across the following areas.
IBM Mainframe (IBM Z)
- z/OS fundamentals: navigating ISPF, JCL job submission and reading SDSF output, dataset management, and basic RACF concepts.
Microsoft Azure (primary hyperscaler)
- Azure foundations: subscriptions, resource groups, RBAC, networking (VNets, peering, private endpoints), and landing zone concepts.
- Azure Migrate and assessment tooling for application discovery, dependency mapping, and cost modeling.
Hyperscaler Coexistence (AWS and GCP, working level) ( good to have, not a must)
Application Modernization and Cloud-Native Engineering ( working knowledge)
Agentic AI: ( Basic)
Strongly Recommended (Good to have)
- IBM certifications in z/OS, COBOL, or zCloud-related disciplines.
- Microsoft Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-305, AZ-400, or AZ-204)
