Job Details

Description

NOTE: This role will be on-site for the first few months, transitioning to hybrid (2 days in-office, 3 days remote) upon approval.

Job Description:

Are you an experienced RPG Mainframe Developer looking to leverage your technical expertise and communication skills in a collaborative environment? We are seeking a talented mid-level RPG Developer who can hit the ground running and add value to a growing team. In this role, you'll work on innovative solutions while directly partnering with the business to gather requirements, troubleshoot, and see projects through to completion.

This is an exciting hybrid opportunity to start with on-site collaboration and transition to a flexible remote/work-from-home arrangement. The role requires approximately 5-6 years of experience, solid technical capabilities, and strong interpersonal and customer-facing skills.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop, troubleshoot, and maintain code using multiple versions of RPG (including IBMi environments).
  • Work with DB2 and SQL to ensure effective data management and problem resolution.
  • Gather business requirements from non-technical stakeholders, translate them into actionable development plans, and see projects through to delivery.
  • Collaborate with a team of 7 RPG Developers and work directly with business partners without the aid of a dedicated QA team.
  • Balance independent development responsibilities with team collaboration and task delegation.
  • Document requirements, processes, and outcomes to ensure project transparency and scalability.

Qualifications:

Technical Skills:
  1. Hands-on experience with multiple versions of RPG (e.g., RPG III, RPG IV, RPG Free).
  2. Expertise in DB2 database management and ability to troubleshoot code effectively.
  3. Mandatory proficiency in SQL and ability to leverage it for problem-solving.
  4. IBMi/AS400 experience is highly desired.

Soft Skills:
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills to engage with business partners and gather requirements effectively.
  • Proven ability to work in a team environment and delegate tasks appropriately.
  • A self-starter who thrives in environments requiring initiative and minimal supervision.
  • Must demonstrate the ability to manage projects from start to finish, with excellent problem-solving and customer support skills.
