About the role

We are seeking a skilled IBM i Developer to join our development team. In this role, you will design, develop, maintain, and enhance business applications on the IBM i platform. You'll work closely with business analysts and stakeholders to implement solutions that support our core operations and business growth.

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.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate IBM i applications with other systems.
• Create and maintain technical documentation.
• Develop and maintain secure Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) principles, ensuring security requirements are effectively integrated into development processes while preserving delivery timelines and operational efficiency.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in IBM i development.
• Strong proficiency in RPG Free Format (RPGLE), including modular and service program design.
• 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

• Experience integrating IBM i with APIs or web services (REST/SOAP).
