This is a full-time (near full-time considered) remote role focused on migrating legacy COBOL-based applications to Python.


The selected candidate will be responsible for analyzing existing COBOL code, understanding its business logic, and converting it into clean, maintainable Python applications. The role primarily involves back-end development and integration with an MS SQL Server database.

Key Responsibilities:

Analyze and evaluate existing COBOL programs and logic
Convert COBOL-based application logic into Python
Develop and maintain back-end Python code
Work with MS SQL Server databases (queries, updates, stored procedures, schema understanding)
Ensure accurate migration of data structures and business rules
Test and validate converted code to match legacy system behavior
Document logic, assumptions, and conversion decisions


Qualifications

Strong experience in Python programming
Working knowledge of COBOL (including reading and understanding legacy code)
Experience working with MS SQL Server
Experience with back-end development
Ability to understand and translate business logic from legacy systems
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Ability to work independently in a remote environment
