Job Description
Teaching and Content Delivery
• Deliver technical sessions across the 5-day arc covering portfolio assessment, mainframe
modernisation, hyperscaler target architectures, application refactoring patterns, and agentic AI
accelerated delivery.
• Translate dense modernization content (6R/7R dispositions, replatform vs. refactor trade-offs,
AP×Q economics, zCloud patterns) into clear explanations for a mixed-skill audience spanning
mainframe veterans, cloud-native engineers, and consulting practitioners.
• Walk through reference target architectures for IBM Z modernisation, Azure landing zones,
hyperscaler coexistence, and containerised application estates.
Live Demonstrations and Lab Facilitation
• Run live technical demonstrations of mainframe modernisation workflows (AMI portfolio scans,
code analysis, replatform/refactor patterns), Azure-based target deployments, containerization,
and Agent Builder workflows.
• Walk all lab exercises in parallel with participants on a shared screen, setting time expectations
and announcing progress checkpoints.
• Monitor participant progress during labs, identify who is stuck, and intervene early with pairing
or targeted support rather than waiting for a hand to be raised.
• Troubleshoot and fix common environment issues (mainframe emulator access, Azure
subscription / RBAC, container runtime, Git, Agent Builder credentials) during preparation and
delivery. Escalate unresolvable issues to the program lead without losing cohort momentum.
