[Hiring] Cobol Developer @CAI

Role Description

As a Cobol Developer, you will build a new pooled-account structure inside a running z/OS core.

Job Description

• Analyze the current account master, posting, and balance-maintenance programs to establish where composite reservoir accounts must be recognized, and document what you find.
• Design and code the new account type end to end: master file and table structures, account opening and closing, participant linkage, sweep and reverse-sweep logic, allocation and interest apportionment, and closing balance derivation.
• Modify batch COBOL programs and JCL and extend the nightly and month-end cycles to include the new processing without lengthening the batch window beyond agreed limits.
• Add new CRAs to the audit trail, exception reporting, and reconciliation controls the new function requires, working with accounting stakeholders on what must be evidenced.
• Produce test data, unit and regression test packs, and parallel-run comparisons against current production output; investigate every difference until it is explained.
• Support implementation, conversion of any in-scope existing accounts, and early-life production runs, including on-call cover during the first cycles.
• Leave behind program documentation, data-flow notes, and runbook updates that the support team can work from.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of Enterprise COBOL development experience in a z/OS environment (batch & online).
• 5+ Years of Experience with NaturalOne; developing, debugging, and deploying.
• Experience with Natural programs, subprograms, and maps.
• 3+ years of JCL development and production support experience.
• 3+ years of experience with financial/accounting systems development or support including double-entry posting, balance/accrual maintenance, value dating, reconciliation, and month-end closeouts in a regulated environment.
• 3+ years of experience working with VSAM and Adabas including file design and performance behavior.
• 3+ years of experience with tracing undocumented logic through copybooks, call chains, and job streams.

Requirements

• Experience with cash management, account pooling, sweeps, or treasury applications.
• Experience with CA-7 scheduling and batch operations.
• Experience with REXX, Python, or Java.
• Degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401k retirement account access.
• Paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
