Master@ Werkstudent R&D SW Developer Frontend/Backend

Introduction
Our Mission At IBM Is To Modernize IBM Z Data Access And Use Cases. For That We Currently Work On These Product Lines

• IBM Data Gate is the one-stop solution for building hybrid cloud applications with Z data: a modern approach where you leave your existing data stores and applications on Z untouched, but still get current and transactional consistent copies of that data on the cloud (public or private). Data Gate enables a hybrid architecture where mainframe data stores and applications co-exist with cloud environments. It synchronizes IBM Z data to the cloud for modern cloud data architectures such as Apache Iceberg and IBM watsonx.
• IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS is a software appliance that enables analytical and machine learning workloads for relational databases. It supports the most demanding customers in analyzing and accelerating their queries in Db2 for z/OS.
• IBM AI Optimizer for Z is a software application that empowers clients to leverage generative artificial intelligence technologies and accelerate the adoption of AI solutions across IBM Z workloads. Designed to save time, effort, and cost, AI Optimizer for Z enables clients to deploy, integrate, and monitor AI solutions with speed, simplicity, and ease.

Your Role And Responsibilities
To ensure that the IBM Data Gate, IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS and IBM AI Optimizer for Z maintain their innovative edge and uphold their quality we are looking for frontend and backend developers highly interested in developing innovative, future-oriented solutions for our large scale enterprise customers. Your main duties will include designing and implementing new features, optimizing and extending existing code, and ensuring the software meets high-quality standards through testing, debugging and automation.
