5+ years of COBOL development experience.
Deep understanding of CA Gen-generated COBOL code and runtime behavior.
Experience reverse-engineering legacy applications and documenting business rules.

Analyze CA Gen models, runtime frameworks, and COBOL code to understand legacy logic.
Translate legacy CA Gen into detailed technical specifications for replacement systems.
Reverse-engineer business rules, workflows, data flows, dependencies and edge cases.
Collaborate with engineers to develop approaches for moving away from CA Gen/mainframe tech.
Document legacy architecture and share CA Gen/COBOL expertise with the team.
