I have an opportunity for " IBM AS/400 ___100% REMOTE " and I am looking for a candidate who can join Immediately if you are interested, reply to me with your updated resume or if you could refer someone I would really appreciate it.


Position : Strong IBM AS/400


Location : Remote


Duration : 6 to 12 Months


Visa : US Citizens only

MUST HAVE : (IBM) (AS/400) (DB2) SQL) (IFS) (LPARS)


Summary and context:


This role isn't about generic "transformation" or environment management. The real differentiator is proven, hands-on experience shifting from waterfall to iterative delivery - specifically designing and governing pre-production environments to enable frequent, incremental releases.


Our IBM i (AS/400) environment has reliably powered critical business operations for years but is ripe for evolution. Large, monolithic applications and limited automation offer opportunities for incremental refactoring, modular design, and deeper integration with DevOps and cloud practices.


By making these changes thoughtfully, we can preserve the platform's stability while boosting developer velocity, improving performance, and fostering collaboration - without disrupting essential business functions.

Key responsibilities:
• Assess IBM i environments: Evaluate existing Power infrastructure, tools, and processes to identify bottlenecks in software delivery.
• Develop optimization strategy : Create a roadmap for modernizing IBM i environments by integrating automation, cloud-based solutions, and DevOps best practices. Define strategies for self-service environments, CI/CD automation, and infrastructure-as-code to speed up development and testing.



• Leverage marketplace innovations : Research and implement new technologies, tools, and services that enhance developer productivity and reduce cycle times.



• Performance & cost optimization : Identify opportunities to reduce operational costs while improving system performance, scalability, and reliability.



• Stakeholder collaboration : Work closely with software engineering, operations, and infrastructure teams to align environment strategies with business goals.



Required Qualifications :


• Technical expertise: Deep knowledge and demonstrated experience with IBM i (AS/400) systems, including LPARs, IFS, DB2/SQL, MQ, partitioning, and core middleware
• Performance analysis : Ability to analyze and optimize performance using IBM Performance tools (Job Watcher, SQL Performance tools, ACS ...) to aid in software development lifecycles within IBM i ecosystems.
• DevOps & automation : Experience implementing DevOps pipelines, CI/CD automation, MDCMS version control and infrastructure as code in midrange environments.
• Transformational leadership and stakeholder communication
o Proven success driving major IT transformation initiatives, with a focus on stakeholder buy-in and organizational change.
o Strong written and verbal communication skills to influence technical and non[1]technical stakeholders.
• Industry knowledge : Familiarity with emerging trends in midrange computing, cloud integration, and developer productivity tools.
