Job Description

Job Description: The Cllient implementation is a transformative initiative aimed at replacing outdated legacy systems with a modern, integrated platform to improve court operations, data accessibility, and public service delivery. A critical component of this effort involves the migration of legacy data from IDMS-based mainframe systems and the integration of COBOL applications with modern distributed systems via APIs.

Key Responsibilities: • Analyze and understand legacy IDMS database structures, schemas, and relationships. • Design and implement ETL processes to extract, transform, and load (ETL) data from IDMS into the CCMS. • Collaborate with business analysts and data architects to define data mapping and transformation rules. • Develop COBOL and JCL scripts to support data extraction, formatting, and legacy system interactions. • Design and implement integration solutions to enable communication between IDMS/COBOL systems and modern distributed platforms using RESTful APIs or middleware. • Support the development of API gateways, adapters, or connectors to bridge legacy and modern systems. • Perform data validation, cleansing, and reconciliation to ensure accuracy and completeness. • Participate in integration and migration testing, including mock conversions and user acceptance testing (UAT). • Document data structures, mapping logic, integration workflows, and technical procedures. • Troubleshoot and resolve data and integration-related issues during migration and post-go-live phases. • Collaborate with CCMS vendors, internal IT teams, and external partners to ensure successful data and system integration.

Minimum Skills Required: • Deep experience with IDMS databases, COBOL, and JCL in a mainframe environment. • Ability to analyze and understand complex legacy data structures and workflows. • Proficiency in designing and implementing ETL processes for data migration. • Experience with data validation, cleansing, and reconciliation techniques. • Strong understanding of API development and integration strategies. • Experience with API gateways (e.g., Apigee, MuleSoft) or middleware/ESB platforms to connect legacy and modern systems. • Ability to develop and maintain COBOL and JCL scripts for data extraction and formatting. • Familiarity with scripting for automation and integration support. • Strong collaboration skills to work with data architects, business analysts, vendors, and IT teams. • Excellent documentation and communication skills for technical procedures and integration workflows. • Ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex data and integration issues during migration and post-go­live phases.

Required: • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field. • 7+ years of experience working with IDMS databases and COBOL in a mainframe environment. • Strong experience with JCL, VEGA, data extraction, and legacy system analysis. • Experience with API development, API gateways (e.g., Apigee, MuleSoft), or ESB platforms. • Proven experience integrating legacy systems with modern applications using APIs or middleware. • Solid understanding of relational and hierarchical data models. • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills. • Excellent documentation and communication skills.

Preferred: • Experience with court systems, justice applications, or public sector IT projects. • Familiarity with modern CCMS platforms (e.g., Tyler Odyssey, Journal Technologies). • Knowledge of ETL tools (e.g., Informatica, Talend, SSIS) and scripting languages (e.g., Python, Shell). • Understanding of data governance, quality assurance, and compliance standards. • Experience working in Agile or hybrid project environments.
