We are seeking a technical specialist with deep expertise in legacy IBM/Informix platforms. This role is critical to supporting and modernizing our legacy infrastructure, specifically focusing on Client-UX and IBM AIX environments. You will be responsible for maintaining mission-critical ERP, supply chain, and warehouse management systems while driving technical performance optimizations.
Key Responsibilities
- System Modernization & Design: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement robust solutions that bridge legacy logic with modern requirements (e.g., migrating Informix 4GL to Genero BDL).
- Legacy Maintenance: Write and optimize clean, maintainable code in Informix 4GL, Genero BDL, and Unix Shell Scripting (Korn, Awk).
- Technical Troubleshooting: Resolve complex application issues and database performance bottlenecks using utilities like oncheck and set explain.
- Deployment & Testing: Lead integration, UAT, and performance testing activities to ensure high-quality deployments with minimal business disruption.
- Support & Documentation: Manage incidents and work orders escalated from the Service Desk, adhering to established SLAs, and maintain comprehensive technical documentation.
Required Technical Skills
- Primary Languages: Expert-level Informix 4GL, Genero BDL, and SQL.
- Secondary Languages: Proficiency in Java, Python, or Perl for integration and modern application support.
- Database Management: Advanced knowledge of IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS); familiarity with SQL Server, Oracle, or Snowflake is a plus.
- Operating Systems: Mastery of Unix-based systems (Client-UX, IBM AIX, Linux) and Windows environments.
- Integrations: Understanding of EDI (810, 820), XML, and API integration (RESTful/SOAP).
Preferred Domain Knowledge
- Experience with ERP Supply Chain concepts: Order creation, Pick-Pack-Ship, Invoicing, and Bill of Materials (BOM).
- Familiarity with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and manufacturing workflows.
Role & Project Scope
- Core Objective: Support and modernize a mission-critical Legacy ERP platform while expediting its integration with Salesforce and e-commerce platforms.
- Key Responsibilities:
- Directly manage Informix 4GL development and maintenance.
- Lead API build-out and integration projects alongside key technical stakeholders.
- Operate within a Unix/Linux environment.
- Team Dynamics: Small, lean team consisting of one onsite resource and three offshore members; requires daily coordination with the offshore team.
Candidate Requirements
- Technical Expertise: Minimum 5 years of experience on the Informix legacy platform (specifically 4GL).
- Domain Knowledge: Strong business understanding of Supply Chain workflows and operations.
- Technical Environment: Proficiency in Unix/Linux and API development.
- Soft Skills: Exceptional communication skills to effectively collaborate with and guide offshore team members.
