[Hiring] Senior RPG Programmer/Analyst @Fresche Solutions

Role Description

This isn’t a code-and-ship role. As a Senior RPG Programmer/Analyst, you’ll lead the analysis, design, development, and maintenance of business-critical IBM i applications — architecting solutions that help clients bridge legacy reliability with modern efficiency.

• Consult and collaborate: Partner with clients to resolve application issues, uncover business needs, and deliver solutions across the full project lifecycle.
• Architect and develop: Analyze, design, code, and test applications using all versions of RPG and SQL.
• Ensure quality: Safeguard application integrity through unit, integration, smoke, and other testing phases.
• Document and communicate: Translate system architecture into clear documentation that works for technical and non-technical audiences alike.
• Lead: Guide a small technical team when needed and run code reviews for database and logic changes.
• Modernize: Help clients transform legacy applications into scalable, modern ILE solutions.

Qualifications

• Proven IBM i depth — extensive, demonstrated experience on the IBM i (iSeries / AS/400) platform.
• Business acumen — understanding of operations behind the code (distribution, manufacturing, finance, or insurance).
• Advanced RPG — mastery across RPG forms, especially RPGLE, including free-form syntax and embedded SQL.
• Database depth — expert-level DB2 application programming and database design.
• Modern ILE fluency — strong command of modules, service programs, and binding directories.
• Change management — comfort with structured deployment and version control processes.
• Communication that bridges worlds — ability to explain the “why” to business stakeholders and the “how” to developers.

Requirements

• Experience with major IBM i ERP systems (Infor LX, BPCS, Infor XA, MAPICS, PRMS, JDE, Frontier, HFA, and others).
• Background in distribution, manufacturing, finance, or insurance applications.
• Familiarity with RDi or other Eclipse-based IDEs.
• Git or SVN experience in an IBM i environment.
• Impact analysis tools.
• Integration work with APIs, JSON, XML, and tools like GoAnywhere.

Benefits

• Work from anywhere in North America with genuine flexibility.
• A culture where our values shape technical decisions.
