Job Description & Details
This is a heavy-duty infrastructure and development role focused entirely on HP NonStop systems where downtime simply isn't an option. If you know your way around Guardian and can troubleshoot a production fire at 2 AM without breaking a sweat, this gig keeps you right in the engine room of enterprise fault tolerance.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
You'll be juggling everything from hardware and OS upgrades to writing low-maintenance code and keeping high-availability environments healthy. Expect to handle disaster recovery setups, manage data replication, and jump into deep-dive incident troubleshooting when mission-critical platforms start throwing alerts.
The Core Tech Stack
You need absolute fluency in the HP NonStop ecosystem, specifically Guardian, TACL, Pathway, Enscribe, and OSS. Being comfortable coding in TAL, COBOL, or C/C++ is non-negotiable, alongside heavy lifting with SQL/MX, TMF, and SCF to keep data transactions bulletproof and secure across the network.
Interview Expectations
Expect the hiring manager to throw a complex transaction-abort scenario your way to test your TMF and Enscribe recovery knowledge under pressure. They'll also probe deep into your TACL scripting and Pathway configuration experience to see if you can architect resilient solutions or if you're just used to clicking buttons.
Application Advice
Skip the fluff on your resume and put your exact HP Tandem and NonStop accomplishments right at the top. Make sure keywords like Guardian, TACL, Pathway, TMF, and SQL/MX are explicitly written out to punch cleanly through the ATS and grab the tech lead's attention.
