Build reliability where it matters most
Not every SRE role gives you the chance to redefine critical infrastructure. This one does.
At NTT DATA, you’ll work on the evolution of a re-platformed mainframe middleware stack, moving from traditional z/OS environments to Linux-based distributed systems—while keeping the reliability standards of mission-critical services. This is not about maintaining legacy. This is about transforming it.
