What is an RPG engineer?

RPG Engineers are specialized software developers who work primarily with the RPG (Report Program Generator) programming language, most often used on IBM i (AS/400) systems. They develop, maintain, and enhance business applications, focusing on areas such as finance, inventory, and manufacturing. RPG Engineers ensure that critical legacy systems remain robust and can integrate with modern technologies as needed. Their role is vital in organizations that rely on IBM i systems for their core business operations.
