I’m expanding a large-scale IBM i modernization program and need 15-20 seasoned engineers who can hit the ground running this week. Every member of the squad must be equally comfortable in RPGLE and DB2/400, COBOL/400 and CBLLE, plus SQLRPGLE and SQLCBLLE; this is non-negotiable because the codebase spans all those languages. Day to day you’ll design and refactor triggers and stored procedures, keep our repositories clean with Git, and write repeatable unit tests against DB2/400 using the standard IBM i testing frameworks. We work entirely in Rational Developer for i, so an intermediate command of RDi shortcuts, debuggers, and plugin management is essential. The environment runs on IST hours, fully remote, with an initial six-month horizon and clear funding to extend well beyond that if we mesh. If you have 4–10 years on IBM i, can show recent project references that demonstrate the full matrix above, and are free to start immediately, I want to hear from you. When you apply, include: • A concise skills matrix mapping your years of hands-on experience for each required language and tool • A brief note on your current availability (hours per week, notice period, time-zone overlap with IST) • Two bullet points on a trigger or stored procedure you personally delivered under tight deadlines I’ll review and schedule quick technical screenings as soon as qualified profiles land in my inbox talent@vmatechnology .com

Having spent more than a decade in the software development industry, my team at Web Crest has amassed vast experience in Agile Development, Debugging, Git, and Software Development, precisely the skills you're looking for. Throughout our journey, we've become proficient in adapting to new environments quickly - it's what's allowed us to stay on top of trends like cloud technologies and AI which we believe will be essential in maintaining and advancing your IBM i program. Our familiarity with database management systems such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, among others further emphasizes our capability with DB2/400. Plus, we've garnered commendable knowledge of relevant languages including RPLGELLE, COBOL/400 and CBLLE which are all required for this project. We don't just deal with codes; we deeply understand the logic behind them too and apply that depth to create efficient codes. More than just writing code à la carte we are passionate about designing systems that help businesses scale their digital products - ensuring security and performance is always paramount. You can count on us to keep your repositories clean with Git while producing top-tier work under tight deadlines: one such example is when we designed a trigger for a client that streamlined their ordering process tenfold.

As an experienced software developer and technology specialist, I may not fit the exact mold of a seasoned IBM i engineer in terms of language expertise, but my adaptability and quick learning skills make me an asset to any project. To effectively contribute to your large-scale IBM i modernization program, I can leverage my proficiency in Git and project management for ensuring clean repositories and managing version control. Furthermore, my capability in Agile development will seamlessly align with the pace required for your IST hour runs. My availability is flexible with sufficient overlapping time with IST and no contractual restrictions. Over the years, I have delivered numerous triggers and stored procedures under tight deadlines. A pertinent example would be one trigger that I designed for a client's inventory system, automating data updates in real-time for decreased inventory discrepancies with an impressive 72-hour turnaround.

Mixing RPGLE, COBOL, and SQL in the same codebase often hides subtle data type mismatches that only surface under heavy load. I'll add a schema validation step in the build pipeline that catches mismatches before code lands in Git. I can start right away, covering 40 hours per week with a 4-hour IST overlap. A common mistake is writing unit tests only for the happy path, leaving edge-case error handling unchecked. You’ll get a clean repository where each change is backed by repeatable DB2/400 tests, so the squad can ship new triggers without fearing regression.

Your main challenge is not simply adding 15–20 developers—it is maintaining code quality, documentation, testing, and delivery consistency across a large IBM i modernization program. My primary hands-on background is modern software development, APIs, databases, Git, debugging, and technical documentation. I also use AI-assisted engineering workflows extensively to accelerate code analysis, refactoring, test creation, documentation, debugging, and legacy-code understanding. For IBM i work, I can use AI-assisted analysis to help interpret existing RPGLE/COBOL/CLLE logic, trace dependencies, prepare refactoring plans, generate test cases, document modules, and accelerate repetitive engineering tasks—while validating changes against the actual codebase and project requirements. I will not present AI-generated output as production-ready without review and testing. I can add particular value in repository discipline, task tracking, QA structure, technical documentation, and coordinating repeatable delivery across distributed developers. If you are open to an AI-assisted engineering workflow alongside your IBM i specialists, I would be interested in discussing the role. Best regards, Pappu Thakur

When you mix RPGLE and COBOL modules in the same service program, hidden name‑clash errors can surface only at runtime. To prevent that, I’ll define shared data structures in a common header and use identical compile options for both languages. A Git pre‑commit hook will run the IBM i unit test suite so any trigger change is caught early. A common pit‑fall is relying on the default transaction isolation when refactoring stored procedures, which can cause deadlocks under heavy load. I’ll avoid that by explicitly setting isolation levels and testing with realistic concurrent workloads. Ready to start immediately and join your squad.

I have experience working with legacy modernization, database-driven systems, software refactoring, debugging, and structured development workflows. My approach would be to understand the existing IBM i architecture and codebase first, then systematically improve RPGLE/COBOL workloads, DB2/400 database logic, and SQL-driven components while maintaining production stability. For this program, I would focus on triggers, stored procedures, SQLRPGLE/SQLCBLLE development, Git-based source management, unit testing, debugging, and performance tuning within the RDi environment. My priorities would be clean repository practices, reliable database logic, repeatable testing, and efficient collaboration across a large remote engineering team. I have worked with enterprise software modernization, database management, debugging, Git workflows, technical documentation, and performance optimization, and I'm confident I can contribute effectively to a demanding IBM i development environment. I'd be happy to discuss the project and outline a clear development roadmap with practical milestones.
