What is a part time iSeries systems engineer?

A Part Time iSeries Systems Engineer is a professional responsible for managing, maintaining, and supporting IBM iSeries (AS/400) systems on a part-time basis. Their duties typically include system administration, performance tuning, security management, and troubleshooting technical issues. They often work with businesses that rely on IBM i platforms but do not require a full-time engineer. These engineers ensure the systems run smoothly, back up data, and assist with upgrades or integrations. Working part time allows flexibility for both the employer and the engineer while still providing essential IT support.
