We are looking for an experienced IBM i (AS\/400) Developer with practical COBOL experience to support a legacy modernization project involving COBOL and IBM i runtime functionality.
The initial engagement will focus on a small technical assessment and development pilot. You will review existing documentation and reference examples, clarify the expected behavior, and implement or recreate a limited backend function in an IBM i environment.
What we're looking for
Strong hands-on experience with IBM i \/ AS400
Practical development experience with COBOL on IBM i (ILE COBOL, COBOL\/400, or equivalent)
Good working knowledge of CL \/ CLP (Control Language)
Solid understanding of core IBM i concepts, including:Libraries
Physical files and file members
Jobs and program execution
File overrides<\/p>\n
Experience compiling, debugging, and troubleshooting applications directly on IBM i
Ability to understand existing legacy code and documentation and reproduce the intended system behavior
Ability to work independently when some technical requirements need to be clarified during the assessment
COBOL does not need to be your primary technology, but hands-on experience with COBOL is important for this project. Experience with other legacy technologies or legacy modernization projects is also relevant.
Responsibilities
Review existing IBM i, COBOL, and CL documentation and reference examples
Help clarify the expected behavior and technical requirements of the initial pilot
Implement, modify, or recreate selected backend functionality on IBM i
Work with IBM i libraries, physical files, file members, jobs, and related runtime logic
Compile, debug, and test COBOL and CL programs in an IBM i environment
Validate implemented behavior against available examples and test cases
Identify missing technical information or dependencies required for implementation
Document important assumptions and implementation decisions
Nice to have
Experience with legacy modernization projects
Experience working with or migrating legacy applications to Java or other modern technologies
Experience analyzing existing legacy systems where documentation is incomplete
Experience with other IBM i development technologies
What to expect
This is a focused technical engagement where your ability to understand existing IBM i\/COBOL functionality and reproduce its behavior will be more important than experience with a specific modern technology stack.
If you have solid IBM i experience and have worked with COBOL at some point in your career, we would be happy to hear from you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
