Candidate should have a strong understanding of development using AI Tools and integrations.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and maintain IBM i applications using RPG Free Format and other related technologies.
  • Analyze, design, code, test, and implement new and existing applications.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve application and system issues.
  • Ensure code quality, security, and performance standards are met.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools and autonomous coding agents to accelerate software design, coding, testing, documentation, and troubleshooting while maintaining quality, security, and compliance standards.
  • Work with business users to gather requirements and provide technical solutions.

  • Experience building with AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex), including prompt/context design, task decomposition, and reviewing agent-generated output before merge.
  • Strong Git fundamentals: branching strategies, rebasing, conflict resolution, and clean commit hygiene.
  • Practical experience with GitHub workflows - pull requests, code review, branch protection rules, CODEOWNERS, and issue/project tracking.
  • Sound judgement on where agentic workflows add leverage and where human authorship is required - including awareness of data handling limits when working with AI tooling.
  • Experience with embedded SQL, CLLE, DDS, and DB2 on IBM i.
  • Familiarity with legacy RPG III/400 is a plus.
  • Knowledge of job scheduling, data queues, and message handling on IBM i.
  • Understanding of software development lifecycle and version control systems.
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent.

Preferred qualifications, but not required:
  • Experience integrating IBM i with APIs or web services (REST/SOAP).
  • Familiarity with modernization tools or frameworks (e.g., Profound UI, LANSA, etc.).
  • Knowledge of ERP systems.
  • Exposure to agile or DevOps environment.

Salary: $86,000 - $103,000
