IBM COBOL Developer

We are looking for an experienced IBM (AS/400) developer to support a legacy modernization project involving COBOL and IBM i
runtime functionality.
The initial engagement will focus on a small technical assessment and development pilot. The work will involve reviewing existing
documentation and reference examples, clarifying the required behavior, and implementing or recreating a limited backend function on IBM

Required Experience
Strong hands-on experience with IBM i / AS/400.
Practical development experience with COBOL on IBM i (ILE COBOL, COBOL/400, or equivalent).
Good working knowledge of CL / CLP (Control Language).
Solid understanding of core IBM i concepts, including libraries, physical files, file members, jobs and program execution, and file
overrides.
Experience compiling, debugging, and troubleshooting applications directly on IBM i.
Ability to understand existing legacy code and documentation and reproduce the intended system behavior.
Ability to work independently when some technical requirements need to be clarified during the assessment.

Responsibilities
Review existing IBM i, COBOL, and CL documentation and reference examples.
Help clarify the expected behavior and technical requirements of the initial pilot.
Implement, modify, or recreate selected backend functionality on IBM i.
Work with IBM i libraries, physical files, file members, jobs, and related runtime logic.
Compile, debug, and test COBOL and CL programs in an IBM i environment.
Validate the implemented behavior against available examples and test cases.
Identify missing technical information or dependencies required for implementation.
Document important assumptions and implementation decisions.
