Summary

We are seeking an experienced PeopleSoft COBOL Developer to assist our Student Information Systems team in analyzing, documenting, and converting legacy COBOL programs within PeopleSoft Campus Solutions into modern, maintainable Python-based services.

You will work closely with developers, analysts, and architects to understand the functional intent of existing COBOL programs (e.g., Academic Advisement, Student Records, Financial Aid), extract business logic, and help translate that logic into modern data-processing workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Review and analyze existing PeopleSoft Campus Solutions COBOL programs (delivered and customized), including process scheduler jobs such as SRPCAARP, SRPCASAR, and related modules.
  • Document current program logic, data flows, and dependencies between COBOL, SQR, and Application Engine processes.
  • Collaborate with business analysts to confirm functional equivalence of new Python implementations.
  • Design and prototype Python equivalents of COBOL routines, focusing on modularity, maintainability, and performance.
  • Interface with PeopleSoft Process Scheduler and Oracle database to validate end-to-end data integrity.
  • Support code reviews, unit testing, and transition of converted components into production.
  • Provide mentoring and knowledge transfer to internal staff on COBOL structure and modernization practices.

Required Skills

  • 5+ years of experience developing or maintaining COBOL programs in PeopleSoft Campus Solutions or PeopleSoft HCM/Finance environments.
  • Deep understanding of PeopleSoft Process Scheduler, COBOL build/runtime environment (Micro Focus or IBM Enterprise COBOL), and Oracle SQL.
  • Proven ability to analyze and document large procedural codebases.
  • Hands-on experience with Python (preferably for data transformation or service orchestration).
  • Strong grasp of relational data structures and set-based logic used in Campus Solutions.
  • Experience using Git, JIRA, or equivalent modern development toolchains.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with COBOL-to-modern language migrations (Python, Java, or C#).
  • Familiarity with PeopleSoft Application Engine, SQR, and PL/SQL.
  • Understanding of REST APIs and data services in higher education contexts.
  • Prior work in Academic Advisement, Student Records, or Financial Aid modules.
  • Strong documentation and communication skills; ability to work collaboratively with non-technical stakeholders.
