The biggest screening item here is recent, verifiable RPG experience. The candidate should have 8+ years of AS400/RPG development experience, and that experience needs to fall within the last 12–15 years. This should not be treated as a general mainframe developer role. The target candidate needs direct IBM AS400/RPG development experience.

The strongest candidates will have RPG/400, RPGLE/ILE RPG, SQL RPGLE, production support, and legacy enterprise application maintenance, with AS400 administration or upgrade experience being a plus.
