Senior RPG Programmer/Analyst - Remote - FS465

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.
