COBOL Developer

A long-term COBOL development mission for a trilingual analyst who can keep critical social-security applications running while modernising the way they evolve. The role blends legacy maintenance, new development and Agile collaboration in a public-service context.

CONTEXT

Our client, a major player in its sector, relies on critical applications that support social-security processes and must remain stable while new needs emerge. The COBOL Developer Analyst will join a team responsible for maintaining existing applications and developing new ones, translating functional analysis into technical specifications and supporting client validation. The environment is rich and demanding: COBOL, SQL, JCL, Microfocus, Java, C#, web services, Git and GitHub all appear in the delivery landscape, and data analysis is part of the daily reality. The role requires trilingual proficiency in French, English and Dutch, an IT degree, COBOL certification and a proven ability to work in an Agile environment. Experience in public service related to social security is a significant asset.

ACTIVITIES

  • Convert functional analysis into clear technical specifications.
  • Develop and maintain COBOL applications and supporting components.
  • Perform unit and integration tests, and support client validation.
  • Document developments and ensure knowledge transfer within the team.
  • Work with SQL, JCL, Microfocus, Java, C#, web services and Git/GitHub as needed.
  • Collaborate in an Agile delivery environment and contribute to data analysis activities.

EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTS

You will help preserve the reliability of critical social-security applications while enabling controlled evolution and new development. The client expects well-tested changes, clear documentation and smooth validation cycles with business users. Your work should reduce operational risk, improve maintainability and help the team modernise its delivery practices without disrupting essential services.

ENVIRONMENT

  • COBOL, SQL, JCL and Microfocus.
  • Java, C#, web services and Git/GitHub.
  • Agile development and data analysis practices.
  • Functional analysis, testing and documentation.
