Their work often involves modernizing legacy business applications, integrating new features, and ensuring system reliability.

Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication are important soft skills for understanding business requirements and collaborating with users and team members. These skills ensure robust, maintainable code that meets organizational needs and supports critical business processes.

What are some common challenges faced by RPG ILE Programmers when working on legacy systems?

RPG ILE Programmers often encounter challenges when maintaining and modernizing legacy IBM i (AS/400) systems, such as deciphering outdated or poorly documented code and integrating legacy programs with modern applications. Collaboration with business analysts and end users is crucial to accurately interpret business logic and ensure smooth transitions during upgrades or migrations. Additionally, RPG ILE Programmers must stay updated on both legacy and new technologies to implement best practices and future-proof their solutions.

  • Mentor junior and mid-level developers sharing knowledge, building capability, and raising the bar for the team
What We Are Looking For
  • 5+ years of RPG ILE development experience (free-form strongly preferred)
  • Strong experience with CL, DDS, and DB2 for i
  • Deep understanding of IBM i job processing and batch environments
  • Proven experience modernizing or refactoring legacy systems

Nice to Have:
