Description - External
#Design, develop, and maintain IBM i applications using CA 2E (Synon): define entities/relations, access paths, function types (Display/Edit/Browse/Print/Batch/Subfile), and action diagrams.
#Generate and compile Synon objects (COBOL/CL), manage model values/standards, and promote consistently across environments.
#Build and tune Db2 for iseries database objects and access paths;
manage referential integrity, journaling, and commitment control.
#Execute full SDLC: requirements, estimation, technical design, unit/integration testing, code reviews, and deployments via change-management tools.
#Collaborate with BAs, QA, and stakeholders in Agile ceremonies.
#Use AI tools to accelerate work: generate/refactor action diagrams and code snippets, analyze logs/SQL plans, draft tests and documentation—validating outputs and following privacy/compliance guidelines.
#Optional domain: support pharmacy claims/RxCLAIM interfaces, extracts, and operational workflows.
Qualifications - External
- Undergraduate degree or equivalent experience.
#3–5 years of professional IBM i development experience with strong skills in COBOL, ILE concepts (binding, service programs), CLLE, and SQL for Db2 for iseries.
#Proficiency with IBM i tools: RDi and/or ACS (Run SQL Scripts, SQL Services), STRSQL, STRDBG/service entry points, job/message queues, IFS;
familiarity with PDM/SEU is a plus.
#Experience with batch processing and schedulers (Advanced Job Scheduler, Robot/SCHEDULE, or similar) and with source/change management (TurnOver, Aldon, ARCAD, Implementer, or Git-based workflows).
#Strong debugging, performance tuning (indexes, Visual Explain), error handling, and problem-solving skills.
#Knowledge of security and compliance practices on IBM i (object authority, adopted authority, auditing) and working within HIPAA-compliant environments.
#AI fluency: hands-on use of AI-assisted development and support tools (e.G., GitHub Copilot/CodeWhisperer and chat-based assistants) to improve productivity;
skill in prompt creation, validating AI outputs, and applying privacy/compliance best practices when using AI.
#Domain plus: RxCLAIM experience preferred;
understanding of PBM/pharmacy claims concepts (NCPDP D.0, eligibility, accumulators, pricing) and related EDI standards (270/271, 834, 835).
#Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional, Agile or hybrid teams;
self-driven with attention to detail.
