Day-to-day work spans performance monitoring, troubleshooting complex technical issues, disaster recovery planning, and supporting application teams with CICS environment changes. The role suits an experienced mainframe infrastructure professional comfortable with on-call rotation and working largely remotely.

Why we read it this way (7)
The role is primarily operational/administrative (install, configure, maintain, monitor mainframe OS and products) rather than building new software, which points to 15-1244. However, the JD also references programming experience and application-level work (CICS dynamic changes, bundle generation, Web API exposure via URIMAPs), making 15-1252 a plausible runner-up.
Two education/experience paths are offered: a Bachelor's degree with 6 years of experience, or a High School Diploma/GED with 10 years. Because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree, the degree requirement is set to None. Total years minimum reflects the lower (degree-holder) path of 6 years.
The z/OS, CICS, MQ, DB2, Storage, Automation, z/Linux, and Networking items are listed together in a single requirements bullet as a disjunctive list ('including … or Networking'). They are treated as a required skill set collectively; each named product is marked required since the bullet sits under the Requirements section. Storage, Automation, and Networking were omitted as they name no specific product.
SMP/E, z/OSMF, CICSPlex, CICSPA, and CICS IA appear only in the Additional Information narrative section, not in the formal Requirements block, so they are marked preferred.
The compensation range ($102,691.05–$133,000) is described as a Metropolitan Statistical Area market range (min to median), not a full min-to-max offer range — the actual maximum could be higher.
The position is listed as primarily remote ('offsite, work from home primarily') but preferably near a Regions office; occasional on-site attendance may be required.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
