The posting

Company Description

Do you want to work for a company where the people are the purpose? At Grimco, our developers aren’t just maintaining a system — they’re building and modernizing a platform that runs the daily operations of one of North America’s leading sign supply distributors. As an IBM i Developer, you’ll have direct ownership of meaningful work on a mission-critical platform, with the support and mentorship to grow your skills alongside it.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities & Duties

  • Develop new business applications and maintain existing ones using fully free-format ILE RPG (RPGLE / SQLRPGLE) and CL.
  • Write efficient embedded SQL against a DB2 database to support data retrieval, processing, and reporting.
  • Build and maintain modular ILE objects — modules, service programs, and binding directories.
  • Collaborate with project managers, QA, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into clean, well-documented code.
  • Participate in code reviews, debugging, root cause analysis, and production support.
  • Work within a structured development workflow using Jira and contribute to deployment processes.
  • Integrate with external systems and data interchange processes as needed.
  • Stay current with RPG modernization trends, including open-source tooling and API and modern interface integration. Work Authorization: Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. Grimco does not provide employment visa sponsorship (e.g., H-1B, O-1, TN) and will not do so in the future for this position.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of development experience on IBM i (AS/400 / iSeries / Power Systems).
  • Demonstrated proficiency in fully free-format RPG IV.
  • Strong understanding of ILE concepts: modules, service programs, binding directories, and activation groups.
  • Embedded SQL and DB2 for i — SQL-based I/O is the standard here, not the exception.
  • CL / CLLE for job control and batch processing.
  • Familiarity with prototype keywords, data structures, and modern procedure-based program design.
  • Ability to read, understand, and modernize legacy fixed-format code when needed — without writing new fixed-format code.
  • Experience with RDi or VS Code + Code4i extension for development.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with EDI or data interchange — X12 transaction sets, flat file processing, FTP automation.
  • Background in distribution, inventory, or order management systems.
  • Exposure to open-source tooling on IBM i (Node.js, PHP, Python via PASE).
  • COMMON Certified Application Developer — ILE RPG on IBM i, or active pursuit of it.
  • Familiarity with Jira and Agile / project-based development workflows.
  • Security-minded with awareness of current IBM i and application security best practices.

Additional Information

Benefits

  • Full medical, dental, and vision benefits available. Premiums have remained unchanged for more than 16 years.
  • Paid Maternity/Paternity Leave.
  • Paid Holidays.
  • Paid Time Off Accrual (Paid Time Off payout available).
  • 401K with Profit Sharing, up to 6% of the employee’s total compensation earnings.
  • IBM training and certification support.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
