Senior RPG Programmer/Analyst - Remote - FS446

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
