DB2 Systems Engineer

Birmingham, AL 35244 | Fully Remote

Posted: 07/13/2026 Industry: Technology Job Number: 22244 Pay Rate: 95,000-115,000

Job Description


Rezult Group continues to make great strides toward enhancing the technology services community nationwide. We are consistently looking for qualified professionals to join us in achieving success. Currently we are searching for a DB2 Systems Engineer to fulfill an immediate full-time vacancy.




This position is a Full-Time, Contract-to-Hire (6-Month EBH) position that sits fully remote.




Day to Day Responsibilities:

•        Provide primary systems-level support for IBM MQ on the mainframe, managing configuration, availability, and operational health of the message delivery platform used by critical batch and transaction processing workflows

•        Administer the DB2 subsystem at the infrastructure level: manage installations, apply maintenance, execute version upgrades and function-level migrations, and maintain configuration standards (DBA-level query work is handled by a separate team)

•        Perform performance monitoring, capacity planning, and tuning across both DB2 and MQ environments to ensure throughput, stability, and resource efficiency

•        Support and expand the team’s use of BMC tooling within the DB2 and MQ ecosystem; contribute to building out automation and monitoring capabilities

•        Participate in an on-call rotation shared among a small team of DB2/MQ systems programmers — rotation runs every other week and requires coordination with teammates to cover during PTO

•        Interface with IBM and BMC on product support, patch management, and vendor escalations; collaborate with infrastructure teammates across adjacent mainframe disciplines as needed




Position Requirements:

•        3+ years of experience supporting DB2 at the systems or infrastructure level on the mainframe — focused on subsystem administration, maintenance, and configuration rather than DBA or application development work

•        Hands-on experience with IBM MQ (Mainframe) or demonstrated ability and willingness to take on MQ as a primary operational responsibility

•        Full availability for an every-other-week on-call rotation; must be comfortable coordinating PTO coverage with teammates and responsive during on-call windows — this is a firm requirement

•        Familiarity with z/OS infrastructure concepts; ability to work across the broader mainframe environment and support adjacent systems when needed

•        Strong collaboration skills and a low-ego, no-nonsense working style — the team is close-knit, experienced, and values straight-forward communication and mutual support

•        Nice to have: BMC tool experience (especially DB2/MQ-adjacent products), workload manager (WLM) configuration, RACF familiarity, Bachelor’s degree
