About the Role

We are seeking a skilled COBOL Developer with strong experience in Micro Focus COBOL to support and enhance batch-oriented applications running in a modern cloud-based environment.

This role differs from traditional mainframe COBOL positions—you will be working in AWS WorkSpaces on Linux, focusing on batch processing systems, rather than legacy mainframe technologies such as JCL, DB2, or CICS. The ideal candidate is comfortable working in distributed environments and has experience building and maintaining reliable batch workflows.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain COBOL applications using Micro Focus COBOL.

• Build, enhance, and support batch processing systems and workflows.

• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in existing batch jobs and data processing pipelines.

• Work within AWS WorkSpaces (Linux-based environments) for development and deployment.

• Analyze business requirements and translate them into technical solutions.

• Optimize batch jobs for performance, reliability, and scalability.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including QA, DevOps, and business stakeholders.

• Maintain clear documentation for processes, code, and system behavior.

• Participate in code reviews and ensure adherence to coding standards.

Required Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of experience in COBOL development.

• Strong hands-on experience with:

• Micro Focus COBOL

• Batch processing systems (job scheduling, data processing, file handling)

• Experience working in Linux environments (navigation, scripting basics, file systems).

• Familiarity with AWS WorkSpaces or similar cloud-based development environments.

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.

• Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks.

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Experience with AWS services or cloud-native environments.

• Familiarity with shell scripting (Bash or similar).

• Experience with file-based data processing and integrations.

• Exposure to modern DevOps practices or version control systems (Git).
