What is a Pick Basic developer?

Pick Basic Developers are software professionals who specialize in programming with Pick BASIC, a language commonly used on MultiValue database platforms such as the Pick Operating System. They design, develop, and maintain business applications, often for industries requiring robust transaction processing. Pick BASIC is known for its efficiency in handling large volumes of data and its integration with legacy systems. Developers in this field work on creating and updating applications, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring data integrity within these specialized environments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Pick Basic developer?

To thrive as a Pick Basic Developer, you need strong programming skills in Pick/BASIC and MultiValue database systems, typically supported by experience with legacy systems and a background in computer science or related fields. Familiarity with MultiValue platforms (such as UniVerse, UniData, D3), terminal emulators, and source control tools is often required. Problem-solving ability, attention to detail, and effective communication are valuable soft skills in this role. These competencies ensure robust application development, efficient maintenance of legacy systems, and successful collaboration with technical and business teams.

What are some common challenges faced by Pick Basic developers when maintaining legacy systems?

Pick Basic Developers often work with legacy systems that have been in use for decades, which can present unique challenges such as outdated documentation, limited community support, and integration with modern technologies. Troubleshooting issues may require a deep understanding of both the Pick operating system and the business logic embedded in the code. Collaborating closely with end-users and other IT staff is essential to ensure smooth operation and gradual modernization of these important systems.

In this role you will:

  • Execute scheduled preventive maintenance on robotic manufacturing cells following established checklists and procedures

What makes you a great fit:

  • 2+ years of hands-on field service or maintenance experience supporting robotic or industrial automation systems
  • Solid troubleshooting skills across electrical, mechanical, PLC, or robotic control systems
  • Ability to read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and pneumatic drawings
  • Experience using CMMS platforms to track and report maintenance activity
  • Comfortable with local travel up to 80% and overnight travel up to 50%
  • Clear written and verbal communicator capable of producing structured service documentation
  • Demonstrated commitment to safety and disciplined, checklist-driven field execution
  • Ability to follow detailed work instructions and reliably complete directed tasks with minimal oversight

Bonus points if you have:

  • Experience working hands-on with 6-axis robot brands such as Fanuc, KUKA, Yaskawa, ABB, or Universal Robots (e.g. maintenance, troubleshooting, basic programming)
  • Familiarity with palletizing, case packing, pick-and-place, or conveyor systems
  • Experience in food, beverage, packaging, CPG, or other high-speed manufacturing environments
  • Prior customer-facing field experience
  • Spanish language proficiency

What we look for: 

We're building this company from the ground up, and every person we hire has an outsized impact on our culture, performance, and trajectory. While each team member brings unique strengths and perspectives, we look for people who align with our Operating Principles and embody them in action. If this sounds like you, Formic may be the right place for you!

  • Fearless Optimism: You make bold bets and default optimistic. You believe in the mission, aren't paralyzed by risk, and fear inaction more than failure. You see ambiguity as opportunity and bring energy to building what doesn't yet exist.
  • Create the Magic: You absorb complexity so customers don't have to. Whether your customer is external or internal, you focus on delivering experiences that are clear, fast, value-added, and outcome-driven. You don't say "not my job." You make things work. 
  • Today, Not Tomorrow: You have a bias to action. You close the loop. You take extreme ownership. You understand that speed compounds, and you don't confuse activity with results.
  • Seek Truth: You think from first principles. You value data over ego and strong opinions loosely held. You're willing to challenge assumptions, including your own, in pursuit of the best answer.
  • Made of Rubber: You are resolute and adaptable. When things break or priorities shift, you rebound stronger. You treat setbacks as learning moments and move forward with grit.
  • One Formic: You operate without silos. You practice radical helpfulness, document clearly, and make clean handoffs. You assume positive intent and prioritize team success over individual credit.
