REXX (Restructured Extended Executor) was developed by IBM in the late 1970s as a scripting language designed for ease of use, readability, and automation on mainframe systems. It was created to make it easier for operators and developers to write command procedures and glue logic without the complexity of traditional system languages.
REXX is still widely used today on z/OS and IBM i systems for automation, system scripting, and operational tooling. It plays a key role in batch processing, system administration, and integration tasks, particularly in banking, insurance, government, and large enterprise IT environments where mainframes remain central.
The demand for Rexx professionals remains steady. Companies like Kyndryl, Rocket Software, JPMorganChase, and SS&C Technologies together with 56 more are actively hiring in the space.
