Description
My client who is a leading financial services company requires 8 File Transfer Developer to join their teams across London and other UK major cities on 6 month initial contracts.
The volume of information that needs to move internally and externally to stakeholders, corporate partners and regulators is truly staggering. Delivering this key capability is the responsibility of the File Transfer Team within the Group who look after the internal (Connect:Direct) and external (IBM Sterling File Transfer) technologies.
The teams are responsible for the installation, configuration, maintenance and administration across all the supported platforms (zSeries Mainframe, Unix, Windows, iSeries and Tandem), working with offshore partners as required.
If you have similar experience gained across these platforms then this core team would be keen to broaden your horizons with exposure to their file transfer systems and new technologies which are vital to their Banking operation.
My client is looking mostly for your depth and breadth of platform experience (ideally across zSeries Mainframe, Unix, Windows, iSeries and Tandem) and if you happen to already have knowledge of Connect:Direct and/or IBM Sterling File Transfer then this would be very desirable.
