About the Role

We are working with a pioneering Software House that provides financial banking solutions for small- to medium-sized banks.

• Re-write, organize, and streamline documentation for the entire system.
• Work closely with developers to understand the nuances of an IBMi Series, RPG-based system.
• Document "switches" within the software, ensuring clarity on how client-specific configurations impact functionality.
• Identify and address gaps in existing documentation to reduce errors and improve maintainability.
• Support developers by creating clear, user-friendly references that assist with adding new features and mitigating potential system failures.

• Essential: Banking industry experience, with familiarity in financial systems or software.
• Highly Desirable: Experience working with IBMi Series and/or RPG systems.
• Strong analytical skills to reverse-engineer undocumented systems.
• Exceptional communication and technical writing skills.
• A collaborative mindset to engage with developers, engineers, and stakeholders.

This role would suit either:

• A seasoned Technical Writer with a background in legacy systems.
• A Developer experienced in IBMi Series or RPG who enjoys documentation and creating structure.

What’s in It for You?

• Competitive day rate contract position.
• Flexible working arrangements, including remote options.

• Work with a team of talented developers solving real-world challenges for financial institutions.
