As a Cobol Developer, you will build a new pooled-account structure inside a running z/OS core.

CAI is seeking a Cobol Developer to build a new pooled-account structure inside a running z/OS core, without disturbing the balances already on it. This position is contract and remote.

• 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

Required:

• 5+ years of Enterprise COBOL development experience in a z/OS environment (batch & online)

• 5+ Years of Experience with Natural One; developing, debugging, and deploying

• Experience with Natural programs, subprograms, and maps

• 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 VSAM and Adabas including file design and performance behavior

• 3+ years of experience with tracing undocumented logic through copybooks, call chains, and job streams

Preferred:

• Experience with cash management, account pooling, sweeps, or treasury applications

• Experience with CA-7 scheduling and batch operations

• Experience with REXX, Python, or Java

• Degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Ability to safely and successfully perform the essential job functions consistent with the ADA and other federal, state and local standards

• Sedentary work that involves sitting or remaining stationary most of the time with occasional need to move around the office to attend meetings

• Ability to conduct repetitive tasks on a computer, utilizing a mouse, keyboard, and monitor
