Job Description:
Position Overview
This position functions as a primary technical authority responsible for sustaining and supporting a mature IBM i (formerly AS/400) environment and its COBOL-based business applications. The role emphasizes ensuring system stability, diagnosing and resolving technical issues, and optimizing or enhancing existing programs to comply with regulatory changes and evolving business processes, rather than focusing on the development of entirely new solutions.
In addition to ongoing support, this role will actively contribute to the organization''s strategic migration from IBM i to Hyland''s OnBase WorkView platform, ensuring smooth data transitions, integration planning, and operational continuity throughout the migration process. Key responsibilities include monitoring system health, managing batch processes, supporting file transfers, and maintaining SQL-based data access, while providing technical expertise during the transition to OnBase. The ideal candidate will be able to quickly identify and troubleshoot complex problems, target root causes efficiently, and implement solutions independently with minimal guidance.
