Job brief - Only available for LATAM professionals.

We are looking for a developer with solid experience in ILE COBOL on IBM i (AS400 /iSeries) to join an strategic project to transform and migrate a core banking system.
The position involves working on the current core system: developing new features, building the integration interfaces needed during the transition period between platforms, and documenting existing programs and business rules.

Responsibilities

• Design, code, and test new features in ILE COBOL and CL (Control Language).
• Develop communication interfaces to integrate with legacy systems via IBM MQ.
• Create and maintain up-to-date technical documentation for programs, data flows, and business rules.
• Analyze existing programs to identify and document business rules embedded in legacy code.
• Perform unit tests and support the integrated testing and acceptance testing cycles.
• Diagnose and fix defects in programs in production and in the project environments.
• Work closely with business analysts and the target platform teams to ensure consistency between the current system and the new core system.
• Autonomy to make progress on legacy code with partial or non-existent documentation.
• Rigorous technical documentation: this is a core responsibility of the role, not a secondary task.
• Effective communication with business analysts and distributed teams.
  

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Information Technology or a related field
• Verifiable experience as an ILE COBOL developer on IBM i (AS400 / iSeries).
• Proficiency in CL (Control Language).
• Experience developing integration interfaces using MQ messaging.
• Ability to read, interpret, and document legacy code with undocumented business rules.

Nice to have

• Knowledge of the IBM i DCM (Digital Certificate Manager) administration tool.
• Previous experience with core banking migration or coexistence projects.
• Experience in the financial/banking industry.

What do we offer?

• Salary in USD.
• 100% Remote work.
• Type of contract: Independent contractor with Venon Solutions LLC.
• Paid Holidays
• 2 weeks of Paid Time Off (PTOs).
• Working hours: GTM -3, full-time, fully committed.
