Job Description

Provide a short description of the Position:

The client requires an Expert-level Software Developer to serve as lead developer for portfolio of mission-critical PowerBuilder applications following the unexpected loss of the agency's lead and only PowerBuilder developer. The selected candidate will develop, enhance, and support these applications, which are built on the PowerBuilder Foundation Classes (PFC) framework with an Oracle database, until they are replaced through the agency's modernization efforts. No in-house PowerBuilder expertise remains, so the candidate must be able to work independently in a large, mature codebase with minimal onboarding and without disrupting production operations.

Provide a list of the day-to-day tasks to be performed by the Selected Candidate:

Serve as lead developer for PowerBuilder applications, responsible for their day-to-day

development, maintenance, and support.

Design, develop, test, and implement enhancements and fixes to large, mature PowerBuilder applications built on the PowerBuilder Foundation Classes (PFC), including PFC ancestor objects and services, DataWindows, and PowerScript.
Develop and maintain the Oracle database components that support these applications, including PL/SQL stored procedures, packages, and triggers, and the PowerBuilder code that calls them.
Diagnosing and resolving production issues across the application and database layers; serve as the primary escalation point for PowerBuilder application problems.
Analyze business processes and requirements with program staff and translate them into application changes.
Document the applications, including code structure, business rules, and build and deployment procedures.
Support modernization efforts by providing knowledge of the existing applications' business rules, data, and integrations to modernization teams, and keep production systems stable through the transition.
