Job Description
** Must be able to pass a hair follicle drug screen that covers the last 6 months. **
** This position requires relocation to Jackson, MS. **
BCBS has an IBM iSeries AS/400 that runs mission a critical app which is their drug claims adjudication system. It runs 24/7 and it cannot be down because pharmacies are open all night so they have to be open all night to support them and process drugs. It just runs that one application. It's a purchased application from Optum RX so they don't know much about it. One of the COBOL programmers working on that AS/400 left BCBS, and BCBS is looking for an immediate backfill with an onsite resource for a 6 month contract to hire.
This person is just going to be responsible for the applications side and not systems administration. This person should be familiar with COBOL programming for an AS/400. They have a separate team that does administration. They are currently on Version 7.3.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
Personality someone who has a lot of confidence in their technical abilities and feels like they can figure it out. They are not looking for someone who will be tentative about everything and can't make decisions. BCBS wants someone that can set a plan and act on those actions. Mentorship for the other team member would be key as well.
