Job description

Octagon Talent Solutions is seeking an IBM i-Series (AS/400) Engineer to join a highly experienced technical team in the Miami area. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside a veteran IBM i specialist with 25+ years of expertise in a collaborative, mentorship-oriented environment — whether you're deepening your skills or bringing a strong foundation of your own.


What You'll Do


  • Support and maintain IBM i (AS/400 / iSeries) environments for mid-market clients
  • Handle batch processing, job scheduling, and end-of-day/closing operations
  • Troubleshoot system performance issues and support day-to-day operations
  • Participate in platform administration, configuration, and client engagements
  • Collaborate with infrastructure and managed services teams across a diverse client base


What We're Looking For


  • Hands-on experience with IBM i (AS/400 / iSeries) platforms at any level
  • Background in banking, logistics, or operations environments where IBM i is used for closing processes, batch jobs, or back-office workflows
  • Familiarity with RPG, CL, or green-screen navigation is a plus
  • Strong problem-solving instincts and a client-service mindset
  • Reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in an MSP environment


What Makes This Role Unique


  • Work directly with a tenured IBM i-series engineer in a knowledge-transfer-rich environment
  • Join a company that has never fired an employee or lost a customer
  • Be part of a relationship-driven team where engineers are trusted advisors — not ticket closers
