Programmer - Advanced - Mainframe Developer - Composite Reservoir Accounts
Quick overview
Job description
Roles/Responsibility
- Analyze the current account master, posting, and balance-maintenance programs to establish where composite reservoir accounts must be recognized, and document what you find.
- Design and code the new account type end to end: master file and table structures, account opening and closing, participant linkage, sweep and reverse-sweep logic, allocation and interest apportionment, and closing balance derivation.
- Modify batch COBOL programs and JCL and extend the nightly and month-end cycles to include the new processing without lengthening the batch window beyond agreed limits.
- Add new CRAs to the audit trail, exception reporting, and reconciliation controls the new function requires, working with accounting stakeholders on what must be evidenced.
- Produce test data, unit and regression test packs, and parallel-run comparisons against current production output; investigate every difference until it is explained.
- Support implementation, conversion of any in-scope existing accounts, and early-life production runs, including on-call cover during the first cycles.
- Leave behind program documentation, data-flow notes, and runbook updates that the support team can work from.
Mandatory Skills:
- 5+ years of Enterprise COBOL development experience in a z/OS environment
- 5+ Years of Experience with NaturalOne
- 3+ years of JCL development and production support experience
- 3+ years of experience with financial/accounting systems development or support including double-entry posting, balance/accrual maintenance, value dating, reconciliation, and month-end closeouts in a regulated environment
- 3+ years of experience working with Adabas and VSAM
- 3+ years of experience with tracing undocumented logic through copybooks, call chains, and job streams
- 5+ years COBOL - substantial production experience in Enterprise COBOL on z/OS, both batch and online; comfortable extending large existing programs and reading code you did not write.
- 5+ years Natural One - the Eclipse-based Software AG development environment; developing, debugging, and deploying Natural applications from it, including local development and remote z/OS projects.
- Natural and Adabas - Natural programs, subprograms, and maps; DDMs, descriptors and super descriptors, and Adabas file design and performance behaviour.
- z/OS and JCL - writing and debugging JCL, procs, GDGs, utilities, SORT, and restart/rerun handling; fluent in TSO/ISPF.
- Mainframe data stores - VSAM file design and access, and Adabas for z/OS.
- Financial accounting logic - double-entry posting, balance and accrual maintenance, value dating, reconciliation, and month-end close in a regulated environment.
- Analysis of legacy systems - tracing undocumented logic through copybooks, call chains, and job streams, and stating clearly what a change will and will not affect.
Desirable Skills:
- Experience with cash management, account pooling, sweeps, or treasury applications
- Experience with CA-7 scheduling and batch operations
- Experience with REXX, Python, or Java
- Track record of taking a specification from analysis through production implementation with limited supervision.
- Clear written communication: you can explain a change to an auditor, a business analyst, and another developer, and adjust the explanation for each.
- Degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Not required to apply. Each of these will shorten your ramp-up, and we will support you in learning the ones you do not have.
- Mixed-estate integration - calling between COBOL and Natural, and exposing mainframe function through z/OS Connect, IBM MQ, or REST services.
- Scheduling and operations - CA-7 batch window analysis and performance tuning.
- Scripting and adjacent languages - REXX or CLIST for tooling, plus Java or Python for data comparison and migration work.
- Cash management domain - notional and physical pooling, cash concentration, sweeps, and intercompany allocation.
