You'll be involved in the development, enhancement and support of business-critical applications, while also contributing to ongoing modernisation initiatives and improvements across the wider technology function.

  • Working within a collaborative Kanban-based delivery environment

What We're Looking For We're primarily interested in speaking with developers who have experience working on the IBM i platform and are comfortable developing in RPG.

Experience with any of the following would be beneficial:

  • IBM i / AS400 / iSeries

  • RPG, RPGLE or ILE RPG

  • DB2

  • SQL

  • Application support and enhancement

  • Systems integration

  • Financial services or other regulated environments

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, takes ownership of their work and is keen to contribute ideas and improvements.

Why Join? • Opportunity to work on a large-scale, business-critical platform

  • Ongoing modernisation and improvement programmes

  • Environment that encourages innovation and challenging the status quo

  • Strong work-life balance with hybrid working

  • Competitive benefits package including bonus and enhanced pension

  • Long-term career opportunity within a stable and growing organisation
