Lead analysis, design, development, testing, and modernization of IBM i business applications. Architect ILE solutions, ensure application quality, document systems, guide small teams, run code reviews, and collaborate with clients across the full project lifecycle.
Why Fresche? We don’t just keep legacy systems running — we transform them. For over a decade, Fresche Solutions has been the partner organizations trust for IBM i modernization. You’ll work from anywhere in North America, with genuine flexibility and a culture where our values actually shape the technical decisions we make every day.
The Impact You’ll Make
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. You’ll work independently and alongside a collaborative team, guiding clients through real challenges in their business application systems and seeing your decisions make a measurable difference.
What You’ll Do
- 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.
What You Bring
- Proven IBM i depth — extensive, demonstrated experience on the IBM i (iSeries / AS/400) platform, with the judgment that comes from years of solving real business problems on it.
- Business acumen — you understand the operations behind the code (distribution, manufacturing, finance, or insurance) and can spot when a technical solution actually serves the business need.
- 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 — you can explain the “why” to business stakeholders and the “how” to developers with equal ease.
Nice to Have
- 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
Ready to Transform the Industry?
We’re looking for creative, motivated people who do their best work in fast-paced environments. If you’re committed to excellence and want to work with the best in the IBM i space, we’d love to hear from you.
