We are looking for a
IBM RPG Programmer
who will contribute to Hal Leonard US IT operations team: design, develop, and maintain IBM i (AS/400) applications.
What’s in it for you? Contribute to the stability of a global company’s infrastructure. Grow your career alongside senior professionals. Enjoy the flexibility of a remote work mode.
You won't hear water cooler chat about the weather here at Muse, here we are rating our favorite Prince albums and discussing Japanese punk.
Key Responsibilities:
Design, develop, and maintain IBM i (AS/400) applications using RPG (ILE), CL, and SQL. Analyze business requirements and translate them into technical specifications and robust solutions. Develop and optimize DB2 for i database objects (tables, indexes, views), queries, and stored procedures. Maintain and enhance batch jobs, schedulers, and integrations (EDI, file transfers, APIs) where applicable. Perform production support: troubleshoot incidents, resolve defects, and conduct root‑cause analysis. Ensure performance, reliability, and security of applications and data (monitoring, tuning, access control). Implement and follow change management practices (deployments, rollbacks, documentation, audits). Write and maintain technical documentation, including data flows, job dependencies, and runbooks. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (business, QA, DevOps) and mentor junior developers. Participate in modernization initiatives (refactoring legacy code, API enablement, automation, CI/CD improvements).
Required Experience: Proven experience of hands‑on development on IBM i (AS/400 / iSeries) in production environments. Strong programming skills in RPG (ILE / free‑format), CL, and embedded SQL. Solid experience with DB2 for i: data modeling, query optimization, indexing, stored procedures, performance tuning. Good understanding of IBM i architecture: libraries/objects, job subsystem concepts, journaling, commitment control. Experience with source control (e.g., Git) and structured release/change management. Proven troubleshooting skills: debugging, log analysis, root‑cause analysis, and production support. Familiarity with integration patterns: flat files, FTP/SFTP, EDI (e.g., X12/EDIFACT), APIs (REST/SOAP) is a plus. Knowledge of modern IBM i tooling (e.g., RDi, VS Code extensions) and basic scripting/automation is a plus. Strong communication skills, ability to work with business stakeholders and translate requirements into solutions. English proficiency sufficient for technical documentation and cross‑team collaboration.
we offer
FREEDOM FOR ALL
Work remotely or at a co‑working place of your choice in your favorite band t‑shirt.
CREATIVITY EVERY DAY
Make inspiring products for musicians, artists and creators – no day is the same.
IMPACTFUL WORK
Influence the future of the music industry and change the lives of millions worldwide.
Get a generous allowance for work equipment and co‑working spaces (for those not in Cyprus).
Growth and development
Receive specialized training, language lessons, conferences and learning materials.
Access to therapy whenever you need it, and assistance in difficult life circumstances.
We believe everyone in the Muse Group team is a leader. That's why our core philosophy is based on our leadership principles.
Leaders focus on daily outcomes. Each day is a small life. Speed and accuracy in planning are the foundation of trust.
We consciously embrace imperfection in work for the sake of speed. Perfectionism slows progress, so it’s essential to move quickly and try new things.
Radical responsibility means taking personal accountability for every aspect of personal and team work, including problems and their solutions. It shifts focus from "we" to "I," where I take full responsibility for the result without blaming external circumstances or other people.
Follow the principles of persistence and strive for the best results.
Ask for help when needed and offer it to others.
