Why this is worth applying to
Not worth applying for most clinicians unless they already have substantial mainframe software engineering experience. It is a healthcare-sector engineering lead role, not a practical clinical-to-nonclinical bridge.
Who should apply
Experienced mainframe software engineers or engineering leads with COBOL, CICS, JCL, COSMOS, REXX, DB2/VSAM, and production support experience who want to work in a large healthcare organization. Clinicians should only consider it if they have a genuine prior software engineering background.
CV angle
If you have real software or mainframe experience alongside a clinical background, frame healthcare domain knowledge, compliance/audit awareness, cross-functional collaboration, production support, root-cause analysis, documentation, and release/deployment experience. Do not claim COBOL/CICS/mainframe experience unless it is genuine.
Skills to highlight
- Mainframe application development with COBOL, CICS, JCL, and X-Gen
- Production support and L3 incident resolution
- Impact analysis and root cause analysis
- DB2/VSAM and mainframe data handling
- Cross-functional collaboration with business analysts, QA, and downstream systems
- Compliance, audit, and technical documentation
- AI/low-code/no-code solution design
- Release, migration, and deployment support
Role summary
A lead software engineering role at Optum/UHG maintaining and enhancing large-scale mainframe healthcare applications using COBOL, CICS, JCL, X-Gen, and COSMOS, with production support and some AI/no-code solution-building responsibilities.
